Are you a busy parent and need to find a good, reliable babysitter? They are SO hard to find! Leaving your precious cargo with a total stranger is not something we parents WANT to do.
So, what can you do? How can you find someone reliable and trustworthy to babysit your kids? I have a suggestion for you! Predictim!
What Is Predictim?
Predictim is the world’s first AI Technology to draw targeted insights into an individual. Predictim does this through an analysis of the person you are interested in hiring, their social media footprint.
By reviewing Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts, Predictim can analyze a person’s personality characteristics and can help identify potential areas of compatibility as well as possible concerns that can help YOU make an informed decision on whether or not you should hire that individual.
How To Find A Trustworthy, Reliable Babysitter For Your Children
When it comes to caring for the people that we love, we want to find the best caregivers. With a few easy steps, a parent will have a better understanding of a babysitter, to identify the high-quality and trustworthy caregivers they want for their children, loved ones, pets, and even their homes.
I had the chance to check out Predictim and see how it works. Though I am a stay-at-home mom to my three kids, there are times when I and my hubby would like to go on a date. We haven’t been on a date in a LONG time (I think since before kids, sigh!).
Setting up an account on Predictim is fast and easy. It took me all of about minutes to sign up and verify my email. Soon, I was on my way to finding a decent and upstanding citizen to watch my kids.
So, I added my full name, email address (phone number is optional) and hit the enter button. Since I was searching myself, I got an email right away from Predictim telling me that I, Kim Delatorre, was looking to hire me, would I please link my social channels? Of course, I agreed and clicked the button in the email.
Once I clicked the button in the email, I was asked to connect my Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram account. I don’t think you have to authorize them all, but I did. I authorized Predictim to view my Facebook and other social channels. That was very fast and I was done quickly.
After I authorized my channels, Predictim said thank you, and back in the dashboard of my Predictim account, on the upper right side of my page, I can see ‘scan requested‘ and if I click on that, it will let me know if they are still processing the scan or if the scan is ready for viewing. It is also there that I can view the results! That is the fun part!
However, on my first try on Predictim, I scanned myself, LOL. Of course, I wanted to see how I panned out on this site! Can I be trusted? Perhaps I am in the red zone and am unhirable? Nah, I think I will pass! I am still waiting on my scan results. It says it can take anywhere from 1-6 hours.
Update!
I did another scan on myself and it just now came through! Thank heavens I passed the scan! See my scan below:
How Is Predictim Different from Those Other Apps/Sites?
Good question, but I do have an answer for you! The typical caregiver apps and services people use today allow families to search for and find help, but they do not offer a full picture of an individual with just their simple review processes.
The Predictim technology reviews a prospective caregiver’s online presence to assess personality traits and behaviors which cannot be discerned from these background checks. The AI solution scans an entire online footprint, going back years in just minutes, giving parents deep insights and exposing potential risks.
According to Sal Parsa, CEO, Predictim, “The current background checks parents generally use don’t uncover everything that is available about a person. Interviews can’t give a complete picture. A seemingly competent and loving caregiver with a “clean” background could still be abusive, aggressive, a bully, or worse. That’s where Predictim’s solution comes in. By analyzing alternative data sources, including social media sites, parents can get a clear and complete picture of the caregiver and be more confident that this very important person will meet your standards.”
A Breakdown Of How Predictim’s AI Technology Works:
● Uses natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision to scan a person’s digital footprint and draw unique insights.
● Proprietary algorithms analyze a person’s social media use and history, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram posts.
● The process is very quick. In less than three minutes after a caregiver completes the sign-up process, parents/guardians will receive an overview of the individual’s digital footprint.
● Reports reveal how the potential caregiver scored on several relevant personality traits, such as bullying and harassment, disrespectful attitude, drug abuse, explicit content online, etc.
Predictim’s goal is to erase worry by giving parents and guardians the necessary tools to hire the most trustworthy and reliable caregiver, piano teacher, tutor, soccer coach, etc, for their loved ones.

How Do You Find A Babysitter/Caregiver For Your Kids?
Maryann D. says
I have never heard of Predictim before this! I will share with relatives and friends who certainly can benefit from this.
Kim says
This is completely new to me and I think it’s an excellent tool. You hear so many horrible reports of abuse by sitters that I am at the point of only trusting family. I can see this being extremely useful and I’m definitely sharing with everyone I know who uses sitters. Thank you for information.
Lynne B says
I find this fascinating. I had never heard of a service like this before though I wasn’t surprised.
Joseph Gersch says
this would make it easier to find a sitter
ellen beck says
This is actually quite interesting.I honestly have met ‘state’ qualified babysitter that are horrible. It would scare you. The only problem would be people would create multiple accounts the program cant possibly catch :/
Mary Gardner says
This is a great thing since reliable baby sitters are hard to come by.
Tamra Gibson says
I’m so blessed bc I’ve had close family to help me. It’s scary trying new places and people so this is great info.
gloria patterson says
Sharing this with some friends that are at the stage where they need/want a trustworthy sitter. There is a lot of good information here
vickie couturier says
i was lucky i had the same baby sitter for 10 yrs and i watched my older two grandsons while their mom worked for 5 yrs for free,,she just now realizes how lucky she was,,,
Lily Ashley militaryfamof8 says
Where was this when my kids were smaller?! Thank you for sharing this, now that I have foster children it will help 😉
Deanna Marissa says
I love this idea. Great for parents who are looking for reliable babysitters.
Barrie says
This sounds very promising for parents. It’s so important to find time alone.
Lisa says
This is great that parents have this resource and don’t have to worry.
Gabrielle says
This is interesting. Not entirely sure how I feel about it, but I can see where it can be useful to parents.
Dana Rodriguez says
This is really interesting and a great idea for parents.I am glad you passed LOL
Michelle Garrity says
Wish I would have had this 30 years ago when my kids were little!
Sheila F says
I showed this article to my nephew and he thought it was very big-brotherish…but then admitted that he is being very careful with what he posts on social media as he has started posting resumes in his first job search…gotta be careful about what we put out there😲
monique s says
This is a great concept and really helps with the comfortability in a sitter
Darcy Koch says
This gives me another idea for a unique baby shower gift. I do understand a mother’s apprehension about leaving her kids with a babysitter.
Sheila F says
Glad you passed your own scan😊 interesting article and technology. So many difficult decisions for parents these days…anything to help make it easier!
Kayte CookWatts says
Thank you! I passed this on to my siblings. What a smart idea!
