Make sure you tell families who you are, what you\u2019re looking for, why you like working as a sitter, and when you\u2019re available.\r\n<\/br><\/br>\r\nKeep in mind that you are 5 times more likely to be hired by a family when you have a good profile picture. So put your best foot forward by uploading a headshot or portrait that follows our photo guidelines: neutral background, no filters, nice and centered. \r\n<\/br><\/br>\r\nDownload the Sitly app so you can reply right away to interested families. If you don\u2019t want to wait for parents to get in touch, consider upgrading to a Premium membership so you can send the first message as soon as new jobs get posted.                      <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                  <\/div>\n                                  <div class=\"accordion-item\">\n                    <h2 class=\"accordion-header\" id=\"heading__6\">\n                      <button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"collapse\"\n                        data-bs-target=\"#collapse__6\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"collapse__6\">\n                        How do I prepare for an interview with a family?                      <\/button>\n                    <\/h2>\n                    <div id=\"collapse__6\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\"\n                      aria-labelledby=\"heading__6\" data-bs-parent=\"#accordionExample\">\n                      <div class=\"accordion-body\">\n                        The babysitting interview is your time to shine, which may feel like a lot of pressure, but you can put your nerves to bed by showing up well-prepared.
