17. “What is it like to be a sitter?
It's becoming your own boss and managing vacation rentals through the country via our online platform. Your tasks: greet your clients' guests (check-in & check-out) and prepare their accommodation (cleaning and laundry tailored for vacation rental). With Bnbsitter, you decide when you are available and where you accept to provide your services. In a nutshell: you are free.
Lots of benefits that make the difference”
