TIPS Series 1: How To Improve Your Homestay Guardian Profile
You have signed up with mrsHomestay, and put up a basic profile. This is your personal page, and very soon you will receive a special URL & online badge which you can add to your email signature, or blog. What do you do next? Here are some tips to make it easier for international students and their parents to find you.
TIP 1 : UPLOAD YOUR PICTURES
This has to be the FIRST commandment 
Every international student and including their parents want to know the condition of the homestay, amenities near the homestay and if you live in a private condo, what are the facilities available. You would too, if you are sending your child abroad. You want to know she is safe and living in a good home.
This is so important to us that the next updates of the mrsHomestay will give preference to profiles with pictures, and display such on the DASHBOARD area when the student or parent logs in.
Some pictures suggestions,
- Show pictures of the room, living area
- Take some pictures of the neighbourhood - parks, SAFRA club, swimming pool etc
- Please don’t be shy, show pictures of yourself (guardian) if you can.
- Upload pictures of other students you host, of course with their permission.
