In the unlikely event of issues, here are a few online safety tips that apply to Find A Babysitter (and other online sites in general):
- Be cautious when a member claims to be overseas or outside of your area/state.
- Never accept a job or agree to employ a sitter without meeting the member in person first.
- Avoid requests for electronic money transfers, such as untraceable Paypal or Western Union transfers.
- Report any suspicious emails to us immediately.
- If it seems too good to be true, it probably is!
- Do not reply to an unsolicited email from a parent or sitter that refers to the contact details of a person who is not a Find Babysitter member and could indicate possible fraud.
- Always ensure you have the latest version of internet browser and antivirus software update on your home and office computers.
- Keep your username and password details safe and treat them as you would your bank PIN.
