When looking for a babysitter or a babysitting job, one of the first things you should think about is your visibility. To improve your visibility, you should earn more badges!

Badges are a way to improve your search ranking on the platform. The more badges you earn, the higher your chances of being contacted by other Babysits users.

Earning badges is not just about increasing your visibility, it’s also about building a motivated community by showcasing high quality and verified profiles.

This means that having a complete profile and engaging often with the Babysits platform will increase your chances of finding a job as a babysitter or finding the perfect childcare provider for your children.

Watch the video below to see how you can unlock all the Babysits badges:

How do I earn badges?

Earn the badges to improve your visibility

1. Email verified - First of all you should create a profile and verify your email in order to start your journey with Babysits!

2. Profile photo - Once you’ve confirmed your email address, you’re ready to create your profile. First things first, you need to upload a profile picture. To take the perfect profile photo, ensure you are facing the camera directly, have a plain white background with no filters. Avoid accessories like sunglasses or hats and ensure good lighting.

3. Extended profile description - It’s important to introduce yourself and specify why you’re looking for a job or a babysitter.

4. Profile video - This is highly recommended because a video can tell more about you than a picture. While making your profile video, try to use all 40 seconds available to be clear, concise and - most importantly - yourself!
