Babysitters with a personal connection to the parent (either directly or via mutual friends) will also receive the job opportunities first. Bubble instantly connects you to the friends of any parents who you sit for in the app. You therefore build your network on Bubble by doing more sits with more families, so ensuring you run all — or as much of as possible — your babysitting activity via Bubble will also help.
If you’re struggling with getting that all-important first sit and review in, we recommend using your personal Bubble referral code to get any parents you do know to book you via the app. You'll also pay zero platform fees with these parents, and they'll pay no booking fees.
Their positive review is going to help you get more jobs from other families, boost your profile and kick-start your Bubble experience.
