My friend has a steady babysitting job (every weekday this summer) and I was hoping for the same thing. Unfortunately, I only have an "every-once-in-awhile" job (maybe once or twice a month) and I've been searching for a new family to babysit for. I've networked my business by asking my other friends to let me know if they have any neighbors that need a babysitter and I asked my mom to talk to her friends at the gym about babysitting and once was interested. But so far, no one has really gotten back to me. I am relatively broke and I need money for the upcoming school year. Believe me, if I was old enough to get a real job (16), I'd jump at the chance. But I'm not, so as a 13 year old, there are limited ways for me to work. I really wanted this babysitting thing to work out, but so far, not many parents seem to need a sitter. What gives? ;)
