I'm 13. How can I advertise babysitting?

Question

I babysit and I really need money. But lately I havent been babysitting a lot lately. How can I advertise my "job"?

Thanks!

Answer 1

make baby sitting cards and give them to people u know and then mabye they will spread the word around. Give some to ur parents and mabye they will be able to give them to people they know with kids!

Answer 2

make posters and post them through letterboxes of people near you that you know have children.

but dont put a poster up somewhere public or in a newspaper because it is a way for rapists etc to get you to go to their house easily. also you are telling them things about you - address, telephone number....so just be a bit careful :)

good luck

Answer 3

When I was your age I made up little flyers and left them on the doors of all my neighbors.  I also posted them in the Laundromat of apartment complexes and at the community mailboxes of those apartment complexes.  One you get a small list of people you sit for, you can ask them to spread the word for you.

Answer 4

The very best way is through networking with the families you already baby sit for.  Let them know you are looking for more work and would appreciate it if they'd rec commend you to their friends.  People usually won't hire someone to stay with their children just because they saw your number somewhere and that would be dangerous for you as well. If anyone new moves into the neighborhood go over and introduce yourself and let them know you baby sit and give them references.
