We want to ensure you feel prepared and confident for every booking.

Here are some key tips:

Before the Job:
Review the family’s profile and any special instructions.
Pack a small bag with essentials (notepad, pens, age-appropriate activities).
Confirm the job details with the parent via the The Village Co. messaging system.

During the Job:
Follow any routines the parents have set.
Engage children in activities rather than just supervising.
Always keep emergency contacts and important information on hand.

After the Job:
Provide a quick recap to the parents about the session. Leave the house as tidy as you found it.
Request a review from the parent to build your reputation on The Village Co.
