How do I add a recurring calendar event?

If you have an event or activity that keeps you unavailable to sit during a specific time and/or day over a series of weeks, you’re going to want to set up a recurring event on your calendar! Having an event on your in app calendar will ensure your profile is hidden from requests when you cannot take the booking. 

To get to your calendar in the app, you’ll click My Account —> My Calendar

   2. If it’s specific hours, you’ll complete that in the next step!

4. Starts - here you will choose the DAY your event starts

Here is a video showing you how to add a recurring event. 

In this example, the Sitter has added an event that says they are at school on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 8am-3pm every week from 5/1-5/31 and are unavailable to sit.

Have an event change or cancel? Here is a video showing how to cancel either 1 of the events or all of the events. In the example, the Sitter first cancels the 5/1 instance then they cancel all of the instances of the event going forward.
