Our goal of the new site and booking platform was to add functionality and efficiency while maintaining the same tight-knit, family feel of the individualized CareGiver-family matching process.  Kelly, who participated in the beta testing as a BFC member family member, said “the level of detail was great and will make matching families and CareGivers easier.” Compatibility and the precision of the matching system seemed to be a big plus of the new booking platform, allowing the BFC process to remain just as highly personalized as before. Laurie agreed with Kelly stating, “I am incredibly impressed by the matchability–being able to match a sitter so closely with a family’s wants and needs is a plus.”

However, it wasn’t just the BFC families that were raving. Many longtime BFC CareGivers were impressed with the functionality and aesthetics of the site. Mary told us, “ I think it will be a great addition–a lot easier and more organized for both families and sitters.”  Brittany and Yasimen also enjoyed the aesthetics of the site respectively saying, “I think it looks good. It just needs tweaks here and there, but it is very visually pleasing” and ”The site looks great and works well; now it is just about the minor changes.”

Besides the format and aesthetic changes, BFC is also looking forward to introducing a plethora of new features. Components such as Paypal integration and a personalized calendar of all bookings  will help both families and CareGivers keep track of their appointments. Betsy loved the feature, and thought ” it’s going to be great to have all the bookings in one master calendar for reference. It is also good that you have the ability to change your availability.” We are looking forward to introducing a host of new features in order to make our member families’ and CareGivers’ lives easier!
