Questions from babysitters
Know what to expect.
Bluejay is a local community, not an open job marketplace. Families join through an invitation or an approved application.
Does Bluejay cost anything for babysitters?+
No. Bluejay is free for babysitters, and we never charge a booking fee or take a percentage of what a family pays you.
How do I get babysitting jobs?+
You can browse requests on the Job Board and apply to the ones that work for you. Families can also find your profile and send you a direct booking request.
Do I have to accept every request?+
No. You choose which Job Board requests to apply to, and you can accept or decline any direct request based on your schedule and comfort level.
How do families pay me?+
Families pay you directly using one of the payment methods you add to your profile. Bluejay does not handle or take a cut of your pay.
Who can see my information?+
Your babysitter profile is visible to Bluejay parent members. A family’s exact address and your contact information are shared only after a booking is confirmed.
What if I’m under 18?+
You can still apply. Before your profile can go live, you’ll invite a parent or guardian to review and approve your Bluejay account.
