Parents rely a lot on great profiles and positive reviews, so getting your first sit will normally lead to a lot more requests coming your way.
You build your network on Bubble by doing more sits with more families, so ensuring you run all, or as much of as possible of your babysitting activity via Bubble is one of the best ways to get started.
If you invite parents you know to Bubble, all of your bookings together will have no fees for either of you, forever! You'll also share £20 credit (£10 each) once they complete their first booking on the app.
You can share your personal Bubble referral code to get any parents you do know to book you via the app.
Follow these additional steps to give yourself the best chance of being chosen for even more jobs on Bubble:
Choose a clear and friendly profile photo
Write a clear, concise biography
Build your reviews by running all of your babysitting activity via Bubble.
Keep your availability up to date
Respond quickly to requests and messages

We also offer an online learning platform known as The Bubble Academy - with articles and blogs for sitters and nannies to develop their skills. This is exclusively available for all approved sitters and nannies, and you can gain a badge for your profile after completing these modules. Let us know if you'd like to sign up!
We offer business cards to help you promote your Bubble profile locally. Please let us know if you'd like us to send some to you at support@joinbubble.com
