Babysitting?!?!?! I want to start, how?

Question

Im 15 and I live in Coral Springs, Florida. I want to make money, but I don't want to work at Publix or Walmart. My twin and I want to babysit, we both love kids, but we don't know how to go about it. Any ideas? Please help me, tell me how we could start babysitting. Also if you have a child who you want to get a babysitter for and live in Coral Springs, Florida please tell me and leave me your e-mail and I will write to you. Thank you all so much.

Answer 1

i would recomend taking the babysitters course

i know that alot  of people wont hire any babysitters unless they are certified..but its easy and fun.

what i did was just making flyers saying your name adress phone number etc and saying would like i am a certified babysitter etc how ever m  uch u get paid an hour lik 5$ hour and more on weekends or something please call me if ur interested. and make it decorfull.

i did that..and since its the summer now

the kids are off school

i got hired pretty fast

good luck

Answer 2

Well for me, the first places I babysat was at my mom's collegue place. My mom talked about me at work and found me places to babysit. The parents were trusting me because they knew my parents. That was a good way to start.

After that, I babysat my little brother's friend (3 years younger than me), and the word spread out between the parents.

Good luck!
