This order is not for sale. Sorry.
The request that got a name was short: a female babysitter, any language. That was all it said, and all it needed. The person asking got in touch with the name she was given.
Elsewhere a request came in for short-term care for international children, in English. ツamsterdam had nobody for that at the time. Then you hear that too. Better an honest no than a name that does not suit your child.
Say how old your children are and how many there are. Say which day and until what time, and whether it is one evening or every week. Say which language the sitter should speak with your children.
A message that works: Hi ツamsterdam, I'm looking for a babysitter for two children aged three and six, Friday evening until eleven, in Zuid, Dutch or English. Meeting before the first evening is something you arrange with the sitter yourself. Do arrange it.
You message. ツamsterdam names one person. You say yes. Or no. How the market group works.
Asking costs nothing.
You agree and pay directly. ツamsterdam adds nothing on top.
ツamsterdam gives a name, it does no screening. Meet first, ask about experience and for someone you can call.
Yes. Put the language in your message. One person wrote that any language was fine, another wanted English.
Ask it that way. One evening or every Tuesday afternoon, you say so in your message.
Neighbourhood group. Family group. Now the market group.
