FAQ
How do bookings work?
Booking on Babypool is simple and flexible:
- Sitters publish the days they are available.
- You go to the Schedule page, pick a date and a time window, and select one or more sitters to request.
- We send the same request to all selected sitters at once.
- The first sitter to accept your request becomes the confirmed sitter for that booking.
- Other pending requests for that time are no longer actionable once a sitter is confirmed.
- You can track status and make changes any time from My bookings or Manage.
Can I request multiple sitters at once?
Yes. Select as many sitters as you like when you create a request. The first to accept will be the one who takes the booking.
What if no one accepts?
Your requests remain in “Requested” status. You can keep them active, cancel them, or try different sitters or times.
What happens if a sitter is already booked?
Sitters who are already confirmed for that date/time are disabled on the Schedule page so you don’t send a request they can’t accept.
Tip: Use the calendar to quickly preview days with activity and manage your requests in one place.
