Your personality is unique, just as your profile should be. Parents or guardians searches can return many profiles, so you want to make yours stand out from the crowd. The easiest way to do this is ensure you are a GOLD Member to obtain such benefits as:
- A personalised photo
- Up loadable certificates and references
- Priority search listings
- Bouns prizes
- And more...
Parents or guardians can use certain criteria when searching so make sure you select the profile options which best suit/describe you.
When writing your blurb, try to keep it short and to the point, be honest, be yourself. This will help should you be required for an interview as the parent or guardian will have some expectation/s based on your profile.
A few of the basics for your blurb are:
- Contain a brief statement about yourself, personality, background and work ethic.
- Include any qualifications and other information relevant to previous child care experiences.
- Watch those nasty spelling and grammar errors.
We wish you all the very best!

3 simple rules
- Let someone close know where you are going, what time you expect to arrive and leave. Let them know you will call them when you arrive home safely.
- If you are not meeting at the parent or guardians resident ensure you meet in public enviroment
- Trust your instincts, if anything feels slightly wrong, leave or call someone straight away.
