How should I promote my babysitting services?

Question

There isn't many kids in my neighborhood, and I really gotta start babysitting, because I love kids and I need to make some money haha.

I've been through a babysitting class before, and my mom has lots of friends with little kids. I know they would trust me, but there hasn't been an opportunity yet to baby sit them.

Any other ideas of how I could get the word out that I'm available and trained in babysitting?

Answer 1

make flyers with tabs, of imformatuion for a person to grab. put them all over the town in stores, services and schools maybe. my mom owns a lisenced day care and has been very suscessful. try what she did.

Answer 2

Hand out flyers, business cards, tell your moms friends, your friends friends and anyone else you may know. Also put a ad in the neighborhood paper.

Answer 3

I think it's a good idea to post your babysitting services on a free classified ads website such as http://www.stumblehere.com.  Their direct link to the 'services' section is http://stumblehere.com/search/subject-se...  And, you can post it in your area.

Answer 4

put an ad in the newspaper maybe

Answer 5

Make some flyers, post them on bulliton boards, go door to door putting the fliers under people's door matts.  Put an add in the paper, answer add's in the paper, etc.  Go to your school to your career center and look at the bulliton board there.  A lot of parents post adds for babysitting.  Most people don't go out every night, but if you answer enough adds, you can accumulate your clientel.   Get referals from others as well.

Answer 6

well go to the place where you took your class and see if you can get a little permit stating you have done the class make a bullitein or 2 and put them around your neighborhood you could also put and add into the newspaper it will cost something but if your trained you shoud make it back hope this helped.
