Wyndy review

Wyndy is the most screened of the app-based options. Its App Store listing says every sitter is background checked, college verified, professionally interviewed and identity screened, with at least 1 year of paid childcare experience, and that sitters pass this process before parents ever see the profile. Parents can post a job to get applications or browse sitters nearby, message before booking, then book and pay in the app. Saved sitters and house rules for pets, food and bedtime make repeat bookings faster. It covers date nights, after-school pickups, last-minute babysitting and regular nanny care. The cost is the trade-off: the US App Store lists a Parent Monthly Membership at $40.00, more than Care.com or Sittercity charge for a month. The sitter pool is also narrower because it focuses on college-verified sitters, so families in smaller towns should check availability before subscribing.
