Limit what a public profile reveals
Use a general location and child age group. Do not publish an exact home address, school, access details, daily travel pattern, financial information, or identifying health information.
Share private information only when it is relevant to an arrangement and you understand who will receive it. Apply the same standard when requesting documents or personal details from a sitter.
Check whether information stays consistent
Compare the profile, messages, interview answers, and references. Ask about differences in dates, duties, age-group experience, training, or location rather than guessing why they differ.
A profile badge, rating, review, or optional indicator is one piece of information. Confirm what it represents and do not treat it as a guarantee of identity, qualifications, or suitability.
Pause when someone creates pressure
Pressure can reduce the time available to verify information. Stop the conversation when a person refuses basic questions, asks for immediate payment, requests an unusual transfer, or demands sensitive documents without explaining the need.
- A request to pay before the arrangement is understood
- Conflicting names, dates, locations, or work history
- A request for passwords, access codes, banking information, or identity documents
- Pressure to leave the platform before basic questions are answered
- Threats, harassment, sexual content, or attempts to involve children in communication
Use platform controls for their intended purpose
Save relevant messages and report conduct that appears inappropriate, misleading, suspicious, or unsafe. Blocking can stop further unwanted contact through the account.
An in-app report is not an emergency service. If someone is in immediate danger or you suspect a crime, contact emergency services or the appropriate local authority.
Carry the same care into an offline meeting
Arrange an interview or first meeting in a setting appropriate to your circumstances. Tell another adult about the plan, keep your own transportation options, and avoid sharing household access until it is needed.
Confirm duties, pay, timing, cancellation, and transportation in writing. Continue to protect reference details, child information, and other personal data after the decision is made.
