xolilabbs214xo answered Wednesday August 18 2004, 5:49 pm: i was in your place last year. I was certified,i loved kids. but this summer i have been babu=ysitting like crazy. you should get some babysitting cards made and hand them out at your church and stuff. i mean people are desparate for a sitter these days.
SunShinebAbyxOo answered Tuesday August 17 2004, 12:09 pm: Well... If you have younger sibblings that you can watch start off with that... and then move on to cousins, aunts, uncles, parents friends anything like that.
CrayzeelilDanca7 answered Thursday August 12 2004, 5:04 pm: Well you may want to put up signs in your area/town or if you have any relatives close by that work with adults who have young kids get them to ask. Dont worry about the cost cuz most parents will do that part ! Hope i helped!! <3 [ CrayzeelilDanca7's advice column | Ask CrayzeelilDanca7 A Question ]
SouthernBarbieGirl answered Monday August 9 2004, 12:22 pm: Well sounds like your just perfect for the job! I think you should print fliers (I've done it before!) Tell them your name, age, location, phone number, qualifications, ect! Then be sure to add a friendly little note to the bottom of each flier! That always comes off as really sweet! And then spread them around your neighborhood, city, ect! Once you get a few jobs the word will spread! Good Luck and hoped my advice helped! Let me know how things work out. Much Love, Sonnie [ SouthernBarbieGirl's advice column | Ask SouthernBarbieGirl A Question ]
aNgeLxfOrEvEr answered Sunday August 8 2004, 3:57 am: Make flyers and post them around where you live. Also have your parent/guardian hand business cards out for you at their work (if they have frequent customers). Good luck and tell me if you need anything else. I'm around your age..so I can relate to ya! :)
sk8rgurl answered Saturday August 7 2004, 10:05 pm: well maybe u should wait like a year or so cuz people like to hire teenagers. then make cards with info about urself and put it peoples mail boxez telling people that u were interested in babysitting....

followtheformat answered Saturday August 7 2004, 4:54 pm: It's cool that you're certified by the Red Cross, but I doubt many people will hire someone as young as you for baby-sitting. I'd suggest asking adults that your family is familiar with and seeing if they need any of their kids to be watched. It's a lot easier to be hired to babysit when you're a bit older, say 13-14.

mgh12 answered Saturday August 7 2004, 4:49 pm: you can make a poster about you and post it around and if you know a family that has kids younger than you you can send it to them in the mail. well i hope i helped a little. *marielle* [ mgh12's advice column | Ask mgh12 A Question ]

ASKLane answered Saturday August 7 2004, 1:57 pm: put flyers up AROUND YOUR NIEGHBORHOOD STating thAT YOU are A SERTIFIED Baby sitter AND YOU LOVE KIDS also put your phone number
xO_sTePhIe_Ox answered Saturday August 7 2004, 11:35 am: I would make flyers to send around to your whole neighborhood. Hopefully you have a neighborhood directory to you know which houses has kids. On the flyer, exlpain about yourself, what you like to do in your free time, and what you learned at the babysitting coarse. I hope I helped... drop one in the inbox if you'd like! <3 Steph [ xO_sTePhIe_Ox's advice column | Ask xO_sTePhIe_Ox A Question ]
Lena answered Saturday August 7 2004, 3:56 am: post a sign in a foodstore and make sure u put that you are certified by the redcross cuz they may be a little iffy about the 12, or you can be a mothers helper which is helping a baby, while the mother is home doing work at home, or something!

BeezKneez answered Saturday August 7 2004, 2:20 am: Well, if ur 12, ppl might not b 2 sure if ur mature enough 2 star babysitting yet, so it might b hard 2 get jobs @ first. Try making posters and putting them in the mailboxes of ppl in ur neighborhood that says how u babysit and wut training u have had and everything like that. It's also good 2 have refrences, such as family members, or past ppl u have babysat 4, that way those ppl can tell others about whether or not ur a good babysitter and responsible. Good luck!!

PleaseHelpMe answered Saturday August 7 2004, 1:20 am: Put some flyers up around schools, you can find out if there are some of your parents friends kids who need to be baby sat. Or somone from your parents work. Also if there are little kids around the neigbor hood, or if you have a friend who has a younger sibbling you can tell them you want to baby sit.
