Answer 1

Put up some signs in stores with your number. but like stores a mom would go into, not creepy people haha. anyway yeah like a supermarket or a toystore. ask anyone you've babysat for if they have friends with kids to babysit for.

Answer 2

You should advertise to parent that you know or make flyers...The flyers dont have to be great , just I will do babysitting for ___ an hour... Put you number on it and go to local places that you know that you can advertise. Next make some good time you should include a small amount for snack like if you buy some just for the kids. Like if I bought a box of Chips that was $5 and their are 25 bags of chips just determine the unit cost. And try to ake it affordable for each child start off at $5 and hour each child and $15 for 3 or more children. That will probably get you going!

Answer 3

1. Put out fliers.

2. Make a buiseness card, and only pass it to people you know!

3. Advertise online.

4. Tell them you are trustworthy. Liek for instance tell them you have a lot of experience, and I have a lot of parents calling me over and over again, and etc.

5.Make the price lower for.

Answer 4

These steps may not work as well if you have never had a babysitting job before.

To start, create a babysitter's resume. Ask parents that you've previously babysat for to be your references and to write letters of recommendation.

Once you've compiled these letters make sure that the parents' names and phone numbers are on each separate sheet. This ensures that if future parents want to call these references, they can. Make sure the previous parents' are willing to give out their phone numbers.

Type or write up a sheet of paper that states these facts:

-You're looking for babysitting jobs

-You can provide references

-Where you will babysit

-General hours that you can babysit

-How long you have been babysitting

-Your name

-Your telephone number

At the bottom of this sheet make 7-10 tabs by cutting the paper into strips. On each of these strips write:

Babysitter

Your name

Your telephone number

This makes it easy for parents to pick up for future reference.

Make several copies of these flyers. Make them colorful and neat...not too flashy. You want to look creative and responsible at the same time.

Put these flyers in grocery stores, churches, daycares (if the owner says it's okay) and after-school program areas. This gives many parents access to your information.

Additional ways to find and keep good babysitting jobs include:

-Always be on time and responsible for jobs you have

-Be upfront with the parents if you are having problems with the kids

-Ask parents to recommend you to other parents if they feel comfortable with your skills (they should, they keep calling you to babysit their little ones!)

-Take CPR or childcare classes to show that you are serious in taking care of the kids

-Do things with the kids that will make them remember you

Answer 5

make a flyer and take to area daycares - go to where your customers are concentrated - give references on your flyer so that they can check you out before they call.

Answer 6

Here are some of my suggestions:

What I did was put up a flyer in the grcoeery and store and you can also do it anywhere with a bulletin board. Also, give flyers to people you know with kids. word of mouth is the best. Ask your parents to help you find jobs. Also try craigslist. A great place with lots of people are at your temple or church. Parents also go to the park and you can hand them flyers.

Id charge $7 per hour.

Good luck.
