i really want to start babysitting, but i dont know what to do. do i need any type of paperwork or something. there arent really any kids in my neighborhood,,, so i dont know how to like tell people that im available or whatever. please help me!

No, I don't think you'd need any type of paper work. Just your resume (CV) I'd say. And they should be able to see you are responsible from that.

You could let your friends and their parents know that you are looking for work as a babysitter and they can spread the word around for you. Another really good way to get noticed is putting an ad in your local paper. A lot of parents go first of all to the newspaper to look for a babysitter. And once you get a job then they will reccommend you to others. Even putting up a sign on a community noticeboard with your phone number at a local shopping centre would be good. Everyone will see that because everyone has to shop, right?!

Hope this helps!
Good luck with the babysitting! :]
