  - **Get Verified**: Complete the verification process for your user account. This adds credibility and helps build trust with potential matches.
   
• Step 2: Reach Out via Chat: Once your profile is complete, it’s time to connect! 
  - **Send a Short Introduction**: Reach out to families or au pairs through the chat feature. Keep your message friendly and concise, introducing yourself and expressing your interest in connecting. 
   
• Step 3: Schedule a Video Call: If your initial chat goes well, it’s time to take the next step!
