Dear Families, Organisations and Job Seekers,

My colleagues and I would like to welcome you to GlobalAppointments.com. We hope you find this web site helpful and easy to use. Our designers have worked very hard over several years to create GlobalAppointments.com for families worldwide, and we hope that you will be as delighted with the result as we are. Our aim has been to build a 21st Century, fast, reliable, low cost (largely free), website to bring job seekers and job providers across the Globe together by advertising over the Internet. We are unique in that we have targetted only those who provide services to families, including childcarers, tutors, pet carers, housekeepers, childrens party entertainers, family holiday providers, tradesmen, and gardeners.

We provide comprehensive help and advice to families in the process of searching for and engaging a specialist in one of these fields, and to the specialists themselves who are looking for work. We have included pages to describe the types of childcare, for example, and the corresponding qualifications, also career guidelines and advice on interview techniques for applicants and for interviewers. There are also useful links to various helping agencies which provide services to families and organisations involved with young children.

We really do provide FREE worldwide childcare advertising: There are no hidden charges for advertising, viewing family adverts, viewing childcarer adverts, or contacting advertisers! Simply obtain a login and place an advert , then sit back and wait for results. Newly arrived adverts matching your requirements are automatically emailed to you. It really is that easy! If as a family you decide to trawl through nanny adverts rather than place an advert yourself, you are welcome to do this but of course you will not receive automatic alerts in your mailbox as we wont know what you are looking for.

Special consideration has been given to providing child care agencies with just the tools they need to set up and maintain a portfolio of clients with ease. Agencies are able at a glance to find out the status of their adverts, including expiry dates and make changes with minimal effort. With our system agencies are in full control of their own data.

All users are able to contact an advertiser with ease, also renew an advertisement with a single button push, using our carefully crafted advertisement postcard.

Security measures are in operation to prevent under age applicants (under 18) from advertising without the express permission of a parent or guardian. Such adverts where permission is not granted are held back until the applicant reaches his/her 18th birthday when their advert is then automatically released for public viewing. Likewise, under age users can only logon to our Message Board and Chat Room if we receive parental permission.

GlobalAppointments ensures child care advertisers email addresses are not visible to readers, safeguarding users against receiving unsolicited junk mail. An advertisers email address only becomes visible if the advertiser decides to reply to an enquirers email. Enquirers can now send a personal message with their enquiry to help the advertiser decide whether to reply back.

GlobalAppointments private tutors re-designed advertising area incorporates several new features including customer feedback and reply whilst retaining password protection and full update capability.

All those concerned with house care including house sitters, housekeepers and families seeking house swaps also have their own, separate, instant placement advertising area complete with customer feedback.

Pet carers also have their own instant placement advertising areas complete with customer feedback. To attract increased interest there is now a monthly pet photo competition promoted through our monthly newsletter.

Gardeners are now well catered for with their own instant placement advertising area.

Companies involved in providing entertainment to children are now able to promote their business, and families are able to provide feedback on their experiences.

Up-to-date articles of interest to all our advertisers and their customers are included in the monthly newsletter.

By incorporating this large, but carefully selected, diversity of occupations in one Global, Country separated web site with location search we are attracting the widest possible audience for all our advertisers. This process of evolution is set to continue.
