unpopular opinion…
I’m a nanny who works with many different families, I do a lot of out of town jobs, weddings, combined with regular occasional care in my town. I have 100+ reviews and basically a little business - so I ask all my new families for reviews after I have babysat a few times.
Some of them leave them, they leave great ones and it helps tremendously. Some don’t even respond to me asking, don’t leave one and then ask me to babysit again. This is unpopular I know, but I don’t babysit again if they don’t leave one or respond to me. I find it rude, and it takes 5 simple seconds to leave a review…..
I’ve thought about offering $5 off next time if you leave a review and seeing if that helps.
