Let’s walk you through pro tips to craft a profile that shines—complete with verification badges, M-Pesa payments, and more. Ready to get noticed?

1. Upload a Professional Profile Photo

First impressions matter, fam! Your profile pic is the first thing people see. Here’s how to nail it:

Use a high-quality, well-lit photo—think natural light or a clean setup.
Dress sharp (e.g., neat uniform for househelps, professional vibe for employers) and flash a friendly smile.
Skip group shots or busy backgrounds—keep it all about you!

Pro Tip: Employers love seeing a face they can trust, and househelps with clear pics get more hits.

2. Craft a Fire Bio

Your bio is your elevator pitch—make it short, sweet, and packed with value.

Househelps: Flex your skills. Example: “Certified nanny with 5+ years in childcare. Expert in cooking Kenyan dishes, cleaning, and tutoring kids. Punctual, verified, and ready to bring peace to your home!”
Employers: Tell househelps what you need. Example: “Seeking a live-in housekeeper in Nairobi. Must be reliable, great with laundry, and verified. Offering KSH 15,000/month + accommodation.”

Pro Tip: Mention if you’re verified (househelps) or looking for verified workers (employers)—it’s a trust booster!

3. Showcase Your Skills and Experience

Flex what you bring to the table—don’t hold back!

Househelps: List specifics:

Childcare: Nanny for newborns or teens? Say it!
Housekeeping: Deep cleaning, organizing, laundry—spell it out.
Cooking: Ugali pro? Special diets? Let ‘em know!

Employers: Define your gig:

Tasks: Cooking, cleaning, or kid-wrangling—be clear.
Perks: Competitive pay (e.g., KSH 200/day), weekends off, or a cozy room.

Pro Tip: Verified househelps with detailed skills get hired 2x faster on CHARLADY!

4. Get That Verification Badge

Stand out with CHARLADY’s green “Verified” badge—it’s like a VIP pass! Here’s how househelps earn it:

Pay the 300 KSH registration fee via M-Pesa Till Number 4567052.
Upload your ID, agreement form, and police clearance certificate in your profile.
Paste your M-Pesa confirmation code (e.g., “XXXYYYZZZ10”) when prompted.
Once admin verifies your payment and docs, bam—badge unlocked!

Why It Matters: Employers trust verified workers—90% of our hires go to badge holders!

5. Add Certifications and Training

Got extra cred? Show it off:

First Aid or CPR training? Huge win for nannies!
Housekeeping courses or hotel experience? Employers dig that.
Speak English, Swahili, or more? Flex those language skills—it’s a big plus!
