2. Set your availability and rates
Easily manage your calendar through your
calendar.
Choose your services and set appropriate rates; that way, bosses will immediately see when you are available.
3. Receive applications and schedule an introduction
After publishing your profile, owners can send you messages and an inquiry. Use the chat to exchange information and schedule a
meet and greet. Is there a match? Confirm the booking in the app.
4. Enjoy babysitting
Provide according to agreements, send photo updates and maintain routines. This is how you build trust. Also check out our tips for creating a
