Securing a job on campus during the school year can be tough. Part-time jobs at the gym, dining halls, academic offices, and research labs tend to fill up before the semester even starts. Summer rolls around and you think finding a job will be no big deal, that is until you realize all those high school kids have already beaten you to it. So, what are collegiettes supposed to do when they want to make some extra cash? The answer is more obvious than you would think: Babysitting!
Finding babysitting jobs is super easy thanks to SittingAround.com. The site lets students find babysitting jobs near them and helps students to manage their babysitting work like a business, working as much or as little as they like.
To become part of the SittingAround babysitting community, all you have to do is make a profile. Your profile is a chance to reveal your amazing, mature, and trustworthy personality to parents by outlining a bit about who you are, your past babysitting experiences and why you’re a great sitter. The profile is an opportunity to set yourself apart from other sitters, highlighting what makes you unique.
Once your profile is complete, you can set up your personal calendar to let parents know when you are generally available and looking to work. This feature allows you to receive more babysitting requests when you are around and fewer when you are not.
When it comes to finding jobs, you can either do a general search for babysitting jobs in your area or parents can directly notify you. Parents know what they like, so if your profile satisfies their requirements, then notifications will start filling up your account. Depending on your account settings, you can also receive alerts when a parent posts a new job in your area. Just imagine all of the babysitting gigs you could secure and all the money you could make!
SittingAround is perfect for finding babysitting jobs, collecting references and reviews all in one place, finding new clients through referrals and friends, as well as creating a profile that can be used for future job searches. Whether you weren’t able to get a job on your campus or this summer’s job prospects have you feeling blue, babysitting is an excellent option and now it is easy, efficient, and fun thanks to SittingAround.com.
