This page lets you specify when you’re free to accept jobs on Bubble over a 4-week period.

It also lets you specify whether you want to be available for Instant Book.

Keeping your availability accurate and up to date is vital, as it determines which jobs you get notified about. Sitters that regularly update their availability are also prioritised to receive more job opportunities.

Here's how it works:

By default, you are set as Available at all times. To edit this, long-press on one of the new "time blocks" to start your selection, then drag to select the time frame you'd like to set your availability for (each time block is 30 minutes).

When you've finished your selection, let go and a pop-up will allow you to select either Available, Unavailable or Instant Book:

Setting yourself as on for Instant Book in a particular time slot, will mean that a parent looking for a sitter at that time, will be able to immediately confirm you for their job (as long as they match the preferences you have set). They won't need to post their job and wait for your response. They can just confirm you there and then.

Great for them, and great for you too! (Read much more about Instant Book here.)
