Babysitting Connection

What I liked

Babysitting Connection is the perfect company to work for if you are a college student. I had trouble with many jobs because of my constantly changing schedule. Babysitting Connection allows you to set your own hours and therefore, you are able to work whenever you wish. You have unlimited time off and can block off certain time periods at any time. With Babysitting Connection, you can either work as an ongoing nanny with one consistent family or as a babysitter, doing different gigs with different families. Babysitting Connection has set rates for their sitters and therefore, you are never underpaid. Also, another aspect of Babysitting Connection that I love is that everyday there are opportunities to pick up some last minute shifts, so if you are not booked by a family but need a little extra money, you have the opportunity to pick a gig up. I've met many amazing families through Babysitting Connection that I still sit for. It's such a great company to work for!

Advice

One piece of advice I would share is to be up to date on your schedule and to be constantly checking your email. Families send requests through a joint website and you need to respond promptly to these requests. You can ask for as much time off as you please but this also requires that you are on top of your schedule and that you constantly make sure to list times you are busy.
