Help - Reviews and references

Reviews are ratings shared by families and babysitters after their childcare adventures together ⭐! They're like little snapshots of how well your babysitting experience went. References come from people who know our members outside of Babysits (i.e. former employers, colleagues, friends, acquaintance, or family) and vouch for their trustworthiness. Both help you find your perfect match with confidence!

References act like trust badges on your profile! When families see recommendations from people who know you personally (i.e. former employers, colleagues, friends, acquaintance, or family), they feel much more confident choosing you for their childcare needs. Adding references significantly increases your chances of connecting with families and helps build the trusted childcare community we're all part of. Head to the reference page now and boost your profile's trustworthiness! 💙

After connecting with another Babysits member, you can help build our trusted community by sharing your experience! Simply find the review button in your inbox on top of the conversation (it appears after you've exchanged multiple messages). When you leave a review first, we'll let the other person know – but don't worry, they won't see what you wrote until they leave their own review or after 14 days have passed. Your honest feedback helps other families and sitters make confident childcare connections! 💫

Want to see what others are saying about you? It's easy! To view another member's review right away, simply leave one for them too. If you prefer not to write a review, don't worry - you'll automatically see all reviews on your profile after 14 days. Your great reputation helps build trust in our childcare community! ⭐

We value transparency in our community, so reviews can't be deleted or hidden from your profile. But don't worry! You can always respond to a review by clicking the comment button on your profile page. If you believe a review is unfair or inappropriate, our friendly support team is here to help - just reach out to us and we'll evaluate the situation with care. We're committed to keeping our community a trusted space for everyone! 💙

We want to ensure reviews are honest and impartial for our trusted community. You can edit your review during the 14-day waiting period, but only if you submitted first and the other person hasn't responded yet. Once both reviews are in (or the 14-day period ends), they're published permanently. This transparent approach helps families and sitters make confident connections! ⭐
