As the title says.
There's someone that looks pretty good at a decent rate on there but I'm really nervous to actually do this. My kids have only ever been in the care of grandparents, us, and preschool.

Yes! We love it!
I've also used care.com and didn't ever really care for it. It seemed like there were tons of candidates and it was hard to vet.
On urbansitter it's easy to see reviews, repeat bookings (which honestly are more important to me than reviews), super easy to send messages and book. You can also see who in groups you are in has used. Parents groups, schools, etc.
If you want I have a referral code that will give you $35 off. It'll cover your first month of membership fee and a couple dollars towards a sitter.
Check out my favorite babysitters and get a $35 credit to use towards your first booking on UrbanSitter!

I used it when we lived in boston! Never had a complaint with any of the three or so we used.
ETA back then you just had to pay for an intro to a new sitter, or if you wanted to pay them through the site vs cash.

I've used something similar called Chime by SitterCity. LOVED it. They have video bios of all the sitters so you can view them to get a sense of personality and even show LO first so they familiarize with them.
Not sure what cities they are in but definitely worth a shot. We've used 2 and both were awesome. -
Yes, it was great when we lived in Seattle. No issues with any of the babysitters we hired.
I haven't used it since we moved across the country since we have an au pair now. But I would if we needed a babysitter.

I had good luck finding two part-time sitters on there. I really liked being able to see how often they were re-booked, and the profiles seemed to give a better sense of who the sitters were than on a site like care.com or sitter city.
