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 have worked in childcare for the past 7 years and wanted to not be tied down to one specific place as I just moved to a new place. Onboarding was very simple and the interview went smoothly! I have worked for Upkid for 1 month and it is incredibly convenient. Payment is upfront. It’s easy to clock in and out. Obtaining the daycare address and directions is incredibly simple. There’s a rating system both for you and the daycares. And contacting the daycare is very simple. One time I clocked out incorrectly and reached out to Upkid for support to which they got back to me AFTER HOURS and it was fixed the day of. :) It is also an amazing way to get hired if that is your desire. Many organizations hire Upkid substitutes, as I have been offered 3-4 jobs through my time and met many other former Upkid substitutes -> employees. The main issues I ever have are often with a daycare themselves, and Upkid as the conduit barely ever presents a problem.
