Profile picture guidelines

Written by Sophia Kaur

Your profile picture is the first impression families will have of you when considering you as their carer. It's important to have a clear and professional profile picture on our portal. Here are some guidelines to help you choose the right one.

When taking a photo, make sure to smile and be centered, occupying about 80% of the frame.

Should I smile in my profile picture?

Yes, as smiles in profile pictures correlate with good relationships.

Do's:

  1. Professional Appearance: Choose a professional-looking photo that reflects your work persona. Avoid using overly casual or inappropriate images.

  2. Clear and Well-Lit: Ensure that your face is well-lit and clearly visible. Avoid using heavily filtered or overly edited pictures.

  3. Neutral Background: Select a neutral background that does not distract from your face. Avoid busy or cluttered backgrounds.

Don'ts:

  1. Group Photos: Avoid using group photos or photos with others in the background. Your profile picture should only feature you.

  2. Inappropriate Content: Do not use photos with inappropriate content. Keep it professional and respectful.

  3. Extreme Filters: Avoid using extreme filters that significantly alter your appearance. Your profile picture should accurately represent you.

For illustration purposes, kindly take a look at the example provided below.
