I paid to have a background check and it EXPIRES, so you have to keep having it done over and over. It would be worth it if the only messages I ever receive weren’t from scammers. The only messages I EVER get are from scammers and from Sittercity telling me they’ve deleted the profile of someone who tried to contact me. If you are a babysitter, it’s not worth putting yourself out here just to waste money on the background check and waste your time looking for real life clients. If you’re looking for a babysitter, good luck trying to convince sitters that you are an actual person because when everyone else is scamming us, why should we believe you?
