Answer 6

The best way to start is to tell all your friends and family, i would recommend not charging for the first couple of jobs as the experience and reference will be worth far more.

once you've done that the best place to advertise your services is in all your local cornershops/conveniant stores. leave your myspace/facebook page as this will allow them to see who you are giving your client a bit more confidence before booking. i would recommend you monitor how you portray yourself, DONT LIE! but keep you pictures and descriptions clean so you portray your self as being responsible to baby-sit. good luck and have fun : )

Answer 9

You will find that most people will use the services of only those they trust, and that will best be developed through word-of-mouth advertising. You need to get acquainted with people that will help your credibility first. People you know, lots of friends, teachers, clergy, doctors, lawyers, and nurses. Many times, young nurses have kids and they would like to place them with a good nanny or babysitter while they attend college to further their career, or while they work, or for a well-deserved night of their own once in a while.
