Description
Looking to share experiences and hear from other advertisers posting service ads for market developments and intelligence.
I am a professional carer and babysitter, also operating as a travel PA and bodyguard/minder. This website has been mostly a positive experience for me, though there have been other experiences. (It wouldn’t be unique to this platform. Whether other platforms or in-person, there will always be some problem people approaching/responding.)
We could share our experiences on those approaching us (so as to better safeguard ourselves), especially if you are a woman. Depending on our locations, we could also forge our capabilities to offer joint services to clients or a network of a few of us to cover for one another when and if needed. (If forming a group as professional partners/collaborators/cover, I would need you to be a nonsmoker and have DBS and checkable references ready. Also a driving licence and current First Aid would help. You can be of any gender, age, heritage and nationality, though you'd need to already have appropriate status for working here.)
Especially keen to hear from women and service providers (babysitters, carers, security minders etc.) on their experience with other members approaching/responding to their ads – whether you’ve encountered problems with some people contacting you etc., and to share industry tips and knowledge/experiences for our CPD, but happy to meet with nannies/au pairs, carers, travel PAs and protection agents of any gender and orientation.
(Please everyone note, this is not a job offer ad, and this is certainly not a relationship ad. I've had people contacting me with wrong ideas. Please don't. I am just looking to network with other carers, babysitters, travel PAs and bodyguards to share our knowledge and experiences of servicing clients, namely to stay safe.)
