Why Can't I Add My Phone Number or Address Directly?
Our priority at CareGuide is to maintain a safe and secure environment for all our members. This is why we have specific guidelines regarding contact information such as phone numbers and addresses on your public profile.
Canadian, American and UK Numbers Only
Geographical Limitation: We currently accept only UK, Canadian, and American phone numbers and addresses on profiles.
- Outside the UK, Canada, or the U.S.?: If you're located elsewhere but wish to apply for jobs on platforms like CanadianNanny.ca, ElderCare.com, Sitter.com, or ChildCareAdvantage.com, use a placeholder number (e.g., 555-555-5555) during sign-up.
- Sharing Your Real Contact Info: Once you've registered, you can share your actual phone number with potential employers or clients through private messages. This flexibility allows you to control who has access to your personal information.
A Note on Paid Subscription Features
- Share Contact Information Safely: The ability to share your contact details via messages is a feature available to paid subscribers. This ensures that the exchange of such sensitive information occurs within a secure and monitored environment. Learn more.
Important Reminder: No Encoded Information
- Avoid Encoding Contact Details: Please do not attempt to include your email address or phone number in encoded forms in your profile or messages. Such actions can lead to removal from our sites, as they breach our safety protocols.
Sites Without Sponsorship Support
- Please note that Housekeeper.com, PetSitter.com, HouseSitter.com, and our MeetA sites do not support sponsorship. If you are not eligible to work in the UK, Canada, on the US, please do not sign up on these sites.
Your Safety, Our Commitment
We understand the importance of sharing contact information for job opportunities. However, we believe in empowering you to decide when and with whom to share this information. This approach helps in safeguarding your privacy and ensuring that all interactions on our platforms remain secure and trustworthy.
