Bsit is primarily a collaborative application, which means that you can actively participate in setting up your network and increase the number of invitations to sittings.
There are Open sittings on Bsit and parents can also send you Invitations. Quick replies, including refusing babysitting, earns you points. When you accept a proposal, the parent chooses between the Sitters who have replied. You will be notified if you are chosen.
Here are some tips to start:
- create a profile
- fill in the profile as well as you can (a complete profile has a better chance of getting sittings)
Don't worry. If you link your Facebook account to Bsit, we will publish nothing on your Facebook account! The only purpose is to show parents how many of your friends are using Bsit. Nothing more! It helps verifying your account and thus reassure parents.
- add a description with elements of previous sitting experiences with children, this is especially what parents want to read!
- fill in your bank account number (IBAN), the majority of parents are looking for Sitters they can pay through the app.
- check your ID (required by Stripe, the company that takes care of the payments)
- set your Sitting Preferences and availabilities
- if you are available during the day and have free days to take care of children after school, do not hesitate to activate your profile for "after school sittings"
In terms of security for Sitters, you must first know that the parent gives a lot of information before registering, including a valid credit card and a valid phone number.
The place where the sitting takes place is also known, do not hesitate to transmit it to a relative or a friend.
Also, a number of parents already have a rating, given by previous Sitters. Do not hesitate to chat with the parent before sitting.
If you still have a doubt, do not hesitate to let us know.
