HERO HANDBOOK
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Dads to young kids, we started bubble to help Parents easily
connect to amazing babysitters like you.
We’re on a mission to give you a service that makes it extremely easy,
flexible and fun to get more jobs, meet more local families and earn
more money.
We’ve built the app based on the feedback of hundreds of babysitters
like you, and we will continue to improve the product in line with what
you tell us you want and need.
So never hesitate to get in touch, we'd love to hear from you.
And thanks again for joining us, we’re delighted you're on board.

here's the guide in a nutshell...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting-up Your Profile
Your picture
Use the selection & cropping tool in the app to
choose a nice picture from your phone or take a
brand new one.
Your bio
There’s no need for lots of detail - just a few nice lines about your experience,
your hobbies and anything else you think will make you stand out.
a nice bio looks this this..
“I have several years' experience looking after young children. I spent two years
as a nanny for a lovely family in Wimbledon, where I looked after two beautiful
twin girls. I’m currently studying for a nursery qualification and am looking for
babysitting jobs in the evening or on weekends."
Your hourly rate
You’re free to set your own rate, and you can change it whenever you like.
Be aware though that setting your price too high will limit the number of sit
opportunities you get, so think carefully about this one ☺
a good photo goes along way...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting Your Availability
Keeping your availability up to date is key.
Just navigate to “My Profile” and select “My
Availability”.
Here you have two options:
do not disturb” - switch on if you do not
want to receive any booking requests, e.g.
when you’re on holiday!
the calendar tool - to set your availability for
the next two weeks.
Simply, scroll through the days and tap the
slots you are available.
Green Means You’re Free and Grey MeansYou’re Not.
going green means you're free...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Push Notifications: ON!
This is really important
Make sure you have Push
Notifications turned on for
bubble at all times.
Without them, you won’t see
when a Parent is sending you a
booking request!
To check whether you have
Push Notifications turned on,
go to your Phone’s Settings,
find your List of Apps and
select bubble.
From there, you’ll be able to
check and amend your Push
Notification Settings.
don't miss out on sit requests...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting a Sit Request
If a local parent wants to book you, they
will send you a sit request.
You will receive a Push Notification to
your phone.
Just tap on this notification to go into the
App and see the sit details, including the
address.
Tapping on the Parent’s name will take
you into their Profile, where you can
read more about them and see any
mutual friends you have in common.
You can also read Reviews left by
other sitters.
At this point you can either Accept the
Sit, Decline the Sit or Message the
Parent if you have any questions.
Be Quick! Parents often send out a sit request to more than one babysitter
– and the first to accept the job, gets the job.
reacting quickly is key...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accepting the Sit: What Next?
Once you’ve accepted, you will receive
email confirmation showing details of the
sit as well as the parent's address and
mobile number.
At any point, you are able to message the
parent in the app.
The sit will start automatically at the
agreed time and the app has an “Active
Sit” screen that tracks the duration of the
sit and lets you message or call the parent
quickly if need be.
stay in touch via the app...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ending the Sit & Getting Paid
When the Parent gets home, they hit “End
Sit” in the app to stop the clock.
At this point, they can review the start and
end time then;
add a tip or extra payment for you – e.g.
for the taxi home, before;
paying you in a tap through the app.
You will receive the funds into your bank
account within 48 hours.
Ratings & Reviews
The final step is for the Parent to Review
the Babysitter and for you to Review the
Parent.
You’re free to review as you see fit though
we’d encourage you not to negatively
review a Parent for things outside of their
control: e.g. the kids crying!
After all, it happens to the best of us! ☺
no need to worry about cash...

Sharing bubble With Friends
There are 2 key benefits of sharing bubble with friends & families you know:
1. You will share £20 of credit with any person who signs up to the app with
your unique referral code – after their first sit.
2. If you invite Parents you know to book you through the app, they’ll be leaving
you a positive review after the sit which other local families can read.
Parents on bubble tend to request sitters with positive reviews on theirprofiles. So the more of these you have on your profile, the more requestsyou're going to get.
Go to the “Invite” Page on the app to see and share your unique referral code.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting Connected
bubble's technology shows Parents &
Babysitters how they might know each
other through mutual friends.
Parents like to book the sitters their friends
know and trust, so the more connections
you have on the app, the more booking
requests you're likely to get.
Building connections on bubble is easy.
Go to the "Connect" Page in the App and:
1. Connect through Facebook (unless you
did this already during sign-up).
2. Refer Friends: inviting friends with your
unique referral code will expand your
network.
3. My Community: If you work at a specific
school or nursery, add these places to your
profile. The app will use this information to
connect you to Parents whose children
attend that school or nursery.
more connections = more jobs...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Verifying Your DBS
When signing up and also when editing your profile, you have the opportunity to
state whether you hold a valid DBS check.
Holding a valid DBS certificate is not a requirement for being a sitter on the
bubble app, but it does make your profile stand out and will increase your
chances of getting booking requests.
On bubble, "Valid" for us means it's been issued within the last 18months.
In order for your status as "DBS checked" to be visible on your profile, you'll
need to send us a copy of your DBS certificate.
A photograph is fine, as long as the document is closeup and in clear view.
Please send a photo or scan of the certificate to [email protected]
a verified DBS builds trust...
