How to Cancel Sittercity in 2026

Updated February 2026 · 3 min read

Sittercity charges $39.99/month or $74.97/quarter for access to babysitter and caregiver profiles. Once you've found a reliable sitter (which most families do within the first month), keeping the subscription running is pure waste.

Save Your Sitter's Contact Info

Before cancelling, make sure you've exchanged direct contact info (phone number, email) with any sitters you've hired through the platform. Once your subscription ends, you can't message through Sittercity's system anymore. Most sitters prefer direct contact anyway.
