Connecting parents and babysitters on our large database.
Since we
are an online advertising network, we do not conduct background inquiries on
either of our members. However, we do offer a wealth of knowledge, guidance,
and tools to our participants so that they can independently do these reviews.
After
they have identified a daycare provider they’re considering utilising, parents
must conduct as much investigation as possible. Before employing their
services, you should always call them and have around one face-to-face
encounter with them in a crowded location. This should be done
around once. You should grill them with as many questions as possible and
demand that they provide you with documented verification of their credentials,
registration certificates, insurance, and DBS checks. You must inquire about
recommendations from other parents from the daycare providers you are
considering using. You should check these recommendations by contacting the
individual who provided them to ensure they’re authentic. Parents must read our
free online guidance on Checking Childcare Providers before employing any
childcare provider’s services. The guideline is available on our website.
To
legally care for children in Scotland, nannies and babysitters must be licensed
with “the Care Inspectorate.” To legally care for children in Scotland, nannies
and babysitters need to be licensed by the Scottish Care Inspectorate. If you
are not licensed with such an organisation, it is against the law to
promote your services as a childminder. When hiring a babysitter, a parent must
ensure that the person in question has a valid childcare licence.
Our
website offers free assistance and guidance, and our Safety Center provides
pointers on protecting yourself while using our service.
Childcare-Scotland.Com
is a web-based networking media website that connects
parents, childcare providers, schools, and private teachers. The platform also
assists parents in finding childcare providers.
We
allow parents, daycare providers, and teachers to establish a free account that
advertises their needs or abilities and then post that Profile on our site and
mobile site.
Unlike traditional childcare agencies, we don’t collect commission or reservation charges. Members conduct their background inquiries and referrals on one another, trade directly with one another, and establish their prices. It is feasible to obtain childcare or work caring for children without paying anything to us!
Our
services are also accessible from mobile phones, iPhone,
iPad, and Android operating systems. We are working on building apps which you can download in your mobile device.
Carers and Parents can join for Free!
All carers can register for Free for lifetime. However, if you are registering as a Parent, you can register for free and access the carers for upto 7 days. If you need longer than 7 days, you need to subscribe for 15 days or 30 days membership for a small fee.
Registering
alongside us and adding a profile that advertises the services you provide or
the criteria you have is free of charge.
Free
members can read and respond to messages delivered by paying members (also
known as gold members). Free members can communicate with paying members and
see straight contact information for those members. Free members can post
babysitter jobs, and babysitters can seek jobs posted by free members without
paying a fee.
Once
you participate in our community or establish a profile, would the private
details you provide us ever be sold? The answer is always “no.” The information
we request will not be utilized for any other purpose than to carry out our
service. Suppose you sign up for an account on our platform and establish a
profile. In that case, the information you provide will be checked by a member
of our administration staff before being published on the platform for others
to browse.
On
this website, we have developed our one-of-a-kind safe and private messaging
system that our users can utilize to communicate with one another. Members do
not need to share their e-mail addresses until they decide.
While
utilising our service, we ask that you please make it a point to review the
information provided in our Safety Centre so that you can do so securely.
To prevent illegal accessibility to the information we hold concerning
you, we adhere to the security standards mandated by the Scottish Data
Protection Legislation, also known as the Data Protection Act of 1998.
For
further information, kindly read over our Privacy Policy.
Once
you are a member of our site, we will deliver an e-mail to the address you gave
us, requesting that you activate your account. To set up your account, you must
click the link sent to you by e-mail. This is necessary to verify that your
e-mail address is valid. If you have not received the e-mail to activate
your account, kindly check the “junk” or “spam” folder in your e-mail client.
Certain ISPs are overly aggressive and might incorrectly identify our e-mails
as undesirable.
Suppose
you don’t activate your account by clicking the link provided in the activation
e-mail. In that case, it is possible that we won’t be capable of
sending you e-mail alerts and announcements through our site, for
instance, when you have received a new message. It is for this reason of the
utmost significance that you select the link provided to set up your account.
After
you have finished creating your Profile, it will be added to a waiting list
where it will be evaluated. After being scrutinised and approved by our
moderating staff, your user profile will be available to the public on our
website. In most cases, the duration of this procedure is shorter than
twenty-four hrs. We shall send you an e-mail informing you when your Profile
has been made public. If you visit the page labelled “My Profile,” we will tell
you at the upper part of the screen what the current state of your Profile
is.
If
you update your Profile, the prior version of your Profile will continue to be
viewable online till the latest modifications have been reviewed and authorised
by our moderators.
We
will only accept photographs of the parent(s), extended family member(s), or
childcare provider(s) who have enrolled to use our website. It is not permitted
to take pictures of childcare providers that include more than one person or
child in the picture. If you represent a business, we will substitute a logo
for an image provided it does not contain any alphabetic or numeric characters.
If you update your profile picture or include a new one, the new picture
won’t be displayed unless it is examined by our moderation staff and approved.
Send
them a message using our website’s secure, private
messaging system. Contact information for parents and daycare providers is kept
confidential. Click the “Message” button that can be found on every Profile’s
upper right side to deliver a message.
Once
you deliver somebody a message, we’ll notify them by e-mail that there is a new
msg waiting for them. By examining the sent message in the “My Messages”
section, you could determine whether a message you just delivered has been
viewed. If not, then unread is indicated adjacent to delivered messages.
Registered users may also approach a user personally instead of utilizing our private
messaging system if they have filled in the Profile Plus portion of their Profile
and provided personal contact information, like an e-mail address, phone
number, or mobile number.
Messages
could be sent to the registered carers by subscribed users. You should upgrade your membership to deliver messages to other user.
We
restrict the number of messages any user can deliver in one
day to prevent our messaging system from getting exploited and used to
send spam. If you are notified that you’ve reached your daily limit and would
like to continue sending messages, kindly contact us. We shall assess your
account and, assuming the preceding messages’ substance is appropriate,
consider raising your daily limit.
You
can voluntarily include your e-mail address, phone number, and cell number
in your Profile area. You can read this information with
other free users when you’re a registered member.
We
prohibit personal contact information, like e-mail addresses and
mobile numbers, in the usual part of your Profile for security, safety,
and privacy purposes.
In
private messages, parents and daycare providers can share their contact
information.
If a daycare provider is a registered member, they could include a web address to their Profile that would be viewable by every user.
Our
5-star rating system is available for parents to evaluate childcare services.
Every daycare provider starts with a score of zero in the rating system. The
rating out of five stars is determined by the sum of the ratings a
childcare provider has received.
