Building trust with families through positive recommendations can help you get booked more often.

 

 

*Step-by-step guide:*

*How to Ask for Recommendations:*

- After completing a booking, politely message the family and thank them for the opportunity. Then, ask if they could leave a recommendation.
- Example message: "Thanks again for having me look after \[child’s name\]. I really enjoyed it! If you have a moment, I’d appreciate a quick recommendation on the platform."

*Boosting Your Profile:*

- The more recommendations you have, the more appealing your profile becomes to families.
- Keep delivering excellent service, and you’ll soon have glowing reviews!

*Following Up:*

- After each booking, send a friendly message to families to offer your services again.
- Let them know you’re available for future bookings and they can request you directly through the app.
