Is there anything I should change on it?

We're also trying to expand to reach more families and babysitters; any tips or advice on doing so?
Thanks!

Advertising for Babysitting Business

I just posted flyers all around town a few days ago, and I still have not received any calls or e-mails. Here's the flyer: http://www.flowersitters.com/promotional/%23Flyer.png
I added phone tabs to the bottom of all of them, too.
Yet I walked around to the stores and locations I put them in, and no one took any of the phone tabss. :/ It's been around 4 days so far, too.
I put one up at a grocery store, the Boys & Girls Club, a bread store, a candy store, a church, the golf course I work at that has lots of kids programs, etc. I asked for permission at all of the places, of course.
What's going on?

My nephew hits me
Posted Wednesday June 24 2009, 4:03 pm
Hi, My problem is that when I babysit my nephew he gets a bit violent. Today for example I had to get him ready to go to his baseball game. He didn't want to go, obviously. I have a slight handicap and he uses it to his advantege. He'll stike out and hit me on my foot. It's very painful. I've tried to explain to him why he can't do that. But he just rolls his eyes and walks away. My sister has tried to help but he keeps doing it. I can't stop babysitting him because my sister has college and no one else to watch him. So what should I do. I mean he is 8 years old, he should know better.

Owning my own day care.
Posted Thursday April 16 2009, 4:58 pm
17/F
Ever since I was in 6th grade I have wanted to own my own day care. Not the kind that you have at your house, but a seperate building and a real business. I have taken Teaching Young Children at school, I even have a job at the kind of day care I want to own someday. So what I want to know is, How long would it take to get all the certificates to do this? Do I need to go to special schooling? what would I need? Any info will help.
Thnx.

How much should i charge?
Posted Saturday April 11 2009, 9:48 pm
I'm looking to make some extra money and I have noticed that there are lots of toddlers in my neighborhood. I am going to take a babysitting class where I learn the heimlich maneuver, etc.
Other information:
I am in 10th grade. (Straight A student!..but that probably doesnt help)
16 years old and a girl.
We live in a middle class neighborhood
How much should I charge? I was thinking 8 dollars per hour, + 2 dollars per hour with any amount of friends over. Is that too much?

I need a job but nobody will hire me
Posted Tuesday August 5 2008, 7:57 pm
So I took a course on babysitting/kidsitting. I talked to multiple people in my neighborhood about it. Most of them said that if I took it they would hire me. So I took the course but now that I have the certificate nobody will hire me. I am afraid to put up flyers because I heard about how some people call the numbers and pretend they have kids to babysit but then they are like perverts and end up like kidnapping they babysitters. I want a job but noone will hire me. What is a good but safe way to get the word out that I'm certified and avalible to work?
