Need help getting babysitting jobs?

Question

I have an ad on craigslist but noone is calling anymore. I have passed out fliers and hung them on baords around town. I am not getting calls. I need the work but cant find it. I have been babysitting for years and now it seems noone wants or needs me! help!

Answer 1

If you have a shopper's guide or a buyer's guide in your town they accept free ads.  Post on the bulletin board at church, youth clubs, colleges, parks, etc.  Let your mom's friends know you are looking.  Spread the word around your neighborhood.  Times are tough so people are not going out as much these days.  Good luck.

Answer 2

Could you do daycare? That is really in demand in the area I live in and the people get paid VERY well for doing it.

Answer 3

Take babysitting, CPR and first aid classes if you haven't already.
