User Reviews

Upkid shows promise with flexible shifts and varied placements, and some users report positive experiences. However, multiple reviews highlight major drawbacks: frequent app bugs and slow performance; onboarding and scheduling miscommunications; delays in background checks and repeated document requests; concerns about discriminatory practices; and inconsistent communication. Overall sentiment is polarized, with many users frustrated by reliability and process issues, signaling a need for stability and clearer policies.

Pros

Flexible scheduling and the ability to pick and choose shifts.
Variety of placements and working with different kids across multiple centers.
Positive experiences from some users, indicating perceived potential and enjoyability of the role.

Cons

Significant app reliability and performance issues (slow load times, bugs, invoicing problems).
Onboarding and scheduling problems, including miscommunication about interview times and disqualification after rescheduling.
Allegations of discriminatory treatment and unfair practices in onboarding/hiring.
Delays and repetitive requests for verification (background checks, fingerprints, CPR/First Aid docs).
Poor communication and notification gaps, leading to no-shows or being excluded from the platform without clear updates.

Recent reviews

I signed up, did the onboarding and everything just to not get hired for shifts! Just FYI the center hires you to work for them not the UpKid app. My suggestion is to just apply on Indeed or a company’s website if you want to work in childcare.

I have been working for Upkid for 7 months now and I like it because I get to choose shifts I want to apply for that fits my schedule and needs. It’s really fun going to different daycares and different locations! I’ve had nothing but great experiences at the daycares I worked at. It’s also a nice course of extra money. I met great people to work with. If I have an issue, Upkid is great at responding and fixing the issues. I only gave it 3 stars because of how far away most day cares are to where I live making it harder to accept work.
