Get my Name out there
I am 12 and I would like to start babysitting. I have a neighbor who has a 6 year old granddaughter and I occasionally baby sit her for an hour or so. I'd like to have more clients (you could call them), but i don't want to have strangers calling me everything friday night. Any ideas?

Ask your familys friends and your parents friend who have kids-trix

Check with your school. Teachers are great references. Also, friends parents can help spread the word as well. Bottom line is, you have to start out with babysitting for some strangers before you start to get a good reputation.

if you have a younger sibling, try and see if any of their friend's needs a baby sitter. you could also ask your mom/dad/guardian if they have any friend's with children who need babysitting. thats what i do, and i have baby sat 3-4 times a month for about 6 months (pretty good $$$$ lol)

Have your parents help by spreading the word to other people in your neighborhood with little kids.

If you want to start babysitting, you probably will babysit a lot of strangers, but it is not like they will be mass murderers or anything. Ask you mother to ask other mothers with young children to refer you. I hope everything works out for you.
Good Luck

When all else fails take matters into your own hands. Ask friends and family for names of people who might use you. Call them yourself, and offer your services. Just ask them not to give your name away to other people, so you don't get too bogged down.
