Set Up Your PayPal Account to Earn Cash Referral Rewards

You first heard about the radical change to Sittercity's referral program rewards – from fandango bucks to $10 CASH – last month. Well, sitters, it's here to stay. But before you can cash in on your referral reward, the first thing you have to do is set up a quick PayPal account.

If you're unfamiliar with PayPal, don't worry. It's simple! To sign up for a PayPal account, just provide your name, address and email. After you've registered and confirmed your email address, there's nothing else to do but sit back and watch the cash roll right into your bank account. Seriously, that's it.

You can keep your payments in your PayPal account as long as you want, or you may transfer them to your bank account for free with a few swift clicks of the mouse.

Video Profiles Can Help You Land More Jobs

By now, you must have noticed the (empty) video slot in your sitter profile. What's up with that? As a part of Sittercity's ongoing effort to improve our services, we're now providing you with the opportunity to create a profile video to better market yourself to potential families.

Think of your video as a one-sided interview. We've created five questions for you to answer in your video from your sitting qualifications to your favorite thing to do outside of sitting. Click here to read the five key questions that will take you a step closer to landing more jobs.

Good videos can lead to more jobs, so what are you waiting for? If you'd like to see a video example of what to do and what NOT to do, check out Sittercity's own YouTube video.

Who Is Your Celebrity Twin?

The Celebrity Collage at MyHeritage.com is a super fun (dare we say, addicting) service where you can upload a picture of yourself and the face recognition technology will tell you which celeb you resemble!

In fact, it will tell you which 5-8 celebrities you look like. And when we say, "look like," we are using that term quite loosely… The Celebrity Collage often delivers some unintentionally hilarious results, results you can post on networking sites like MySpace. (Hey, why not broadcast that you look like Lance Bass?)

Even if it's not totally accurate, you'll spend plenty of time playing around with the collage. You can also use the site's animated morphing technology to see exactly how it came to its unique conclusion about your celeb twin.

Find your celebrity look-a-like!.
