Your first Village booking, from request to bedtime
TThe Village team·3 May 2026·4 min read
Your first Village booking is where trust is built. Follow this checklist and you'll be rebooking within a week.
Before the booking
Send a short message with the house address, parking, the wifi password, allergies, bedtime routine and any house rules. The more your sitter knows, the smoother the night.
First 10 minutes
A quick house tour. Show them the first aid kit, exits, the kids' bedrooms and where snacks live.
During the booking
You'll get a message from your sitter around bedtime. Keep your phone on but resist the urge to check every 20 minutes.
After the booking
Pay a genuine compliment, leave a two way review and tap the heart to save them as a favourite.
