Recording a profile video is one of the best things you can do to stand out on Bubble. Parents get a real sense of your personality, and kids love watching them before a sit - it's a great icebreaker! Sitters with a video get 4x more bookings!
What to include:
Try to keep it between 30 seconds and 2 minutes - short but sweet! Some things worth covering:
Your name and a bit about who you are
Your experience with children and any relevant qualifications
What you enjoy most about babysitting or working with kids
Your hobbies and what makes you unique!
A few practical tips:
Film in a well-lit space - natural light from a window works well. Avoid having a bright light or window directly behind you.
Use portrait mode (vertical) if you can
Find somewhere quiet to film and avoid background noise
Look into the camera lens, not the screen - it makes a big difference, trust us!
How to add your video:
Head to Account → Onboarding → Profile boosts → Profile video and follow the prompts to record or upload directly from your phone.
If you're having trouble uploading, for example if the video won't load or the app crashes, try trimming the video to under 2 minutes, or reducing the file size before uploading.
If it still isn't working, drop us a message at support@joinbubble.com and we'll help.
