- Identity Verification
- Bonus Kind Coins to be given for Invites
- Contact for Notifications
You can choose to to skip this step and do it later using the Accounts page.
Date of Birth is not made public or shown to any others, including friends.
Do feel free to write a little about yourself here too.
Profile photos are kept private, only visible to your friends on Mind For Me or others you choose to allow from your settings.
You can zoom and crop your photos here, and change them later if you like.
Feel free to add as many details as you wish, they will only be shared with other community members when and if you decide it’s safe.
They might come in handy if you’ll want to share your contact details with another community member from within the platform.
The same principle applies to sharing your location, only your approximate location will be visible in order to search and also to be easily found when for other members…
Your family may be made up of various members such as:
Parents/Admin
Children
Pets
Supported
Feel free to add them all here
Parent/Admin family members will have the same access to your family as you.
Together you can request help, offer to help others and all the other things that can help your family and others.
Once they log in, they’ll be able to update their own details as well as your family profile.
Children won’t have access but you need to include them so you can make childminding requests.
Extra information can be added that will help others you may have mind your children, such as their interests to make the experience safer and more enjoyable for everyone.
Safe and Secure – Names are only shown to people you allow in your settings. Dates of birth are never shown to anyone, only ages. Those extra details are also only shown based on your settings or to people you have chosen and confirmed to do childminding for you.
Of course for many of us our fur-babies are a part of the family.
They won’t be given access but you can certainly add them to Mind For Me™ so you can get help with walking, feeding or minding them at those times you can’t always be there for them.
Many of us also have family members we care for and support, and sometimes need a hand with. They could be a parent or grandparent and sometimes live elsewhere so we can’t always manage to be there for them when they need it.
Add them here and you can use your Kind Coins to ask others to help out with things like getting groceries, cooking or cleaning, or maybe around the garden with something like mowing… or even just a bit of company for them.
