start my own babysitting job?
i was thinking of babysitting for people..(most likely people i dont know) with a friend of mine..this way the job is easier. Is this a good idea? Do you think i`ll be successful? How should i get perfect strangers to trust me to babysit their kids...any tips? thank you :)

Its a good idea but you are better off babysitting by yourself because you will make more money

start out for the people in your neighborhood** then when that goes good,ask your guardian(who takes care of you,if your young)ask them if there coworkers need help

TAKE A CORSE ABOUT BABYSITTING SO THEY WELL BE SAYING "HEY...THIS GIRL TOOK THIS COURSE WE CAN TRUST HER" ALSO TELL THEM HOW RESPONSIBLE YOU ARE...AT FIRST START TO BABYSIT FOR PEOPLE YOU DO KNOW SO YOU WONT FEEL WIERD ABOUT BABYSITTING FOR SOME ONE YOU DONT NO....ALSO MEET WITH THE KID SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THEY NO MY KID LIKES HER. I THINK IT WILL BE VERY SUCCESSFUL.. I THINK IT WILL BE A GOOD IDEA BUT MAKE SURE YOU DONT FORGET ABOUT HE KID AND START TO IGNORE THE KID...HOPE IT WORKS OUT FOR YOU....

My suggestion would be not to have the friend along on a babysitting job. First off, this might alarm the "customer" and make him choose someone else, unless there are five or six kids. To get strangers to hire you, just type out a little resume, stating who you are, what skills you have in this area, and why you want to do this. If you do it that way, that will make the person look at it like you are a very mature and responsible person.

i think its a great idea but just think that you and friend will probably have to share the money that the people pay you. yes, i do think you will be successful. an idea to get customers is you could put out flyers on people doors and have your parents ask people that work with if they need a sitter sometime. <~ that worked for me! i hope i helped!

If you put a flyer up for a baby sitting service, give them your name, phone number, and how old you are, people should trust you well enough. If they call and ask you to babysit, make sure your parent or your friend's parent drops you off. Don't walk or ride bikes there no matter close it is. It's best an adult knows exactly where you are. And if you're babysitting more than one child or a child you know is a little bit of a terror then you should bring a friend along. It will also keep you from being bored if the kid happens to fall asleep or if you're staying at night to babysit while the parents go to a movie or dinner or something.

You could make flyers and get permission from stores, and any businesses to put them up in the store, most stores have bulitin boards with other flyers already tacked on there. And you could make brochures and put in your infomation in there like how old u are, any experience you've had baby sitting, if you're certified, and maybe even some quotes about how responsible or good with kids you are. Be creative and add some clip art too! Hope this works out! Good Luck!

Hey! I think its a good idea for u to have a friend with you, u will feel more comfortable! Just make sure u are watching the kids and not hanging out with ur friend ignoring the kids...haha. I would ask around the neighborhood...or have your parents ask there friends at work if they could use a babysitter! Or family members are always a plus! And to have the strangers trust you-visit the kids a couple times a week before u start babysitting so the kids get use to you and the parents feel comfortable leaving there kids with u! thats what i did and it worked!

i babysit too but usually by myself.when you first meet the parents or gaurdians just go up and introduce yourself.If you know CPR and other health things like that let tell them and say "if anything were to happen".That always seems to comfort them.and asking them how they are when you first see them and hope they have a good night if thier going out to dinner or something.i knwo it mgiht not sound like your gaining thier trust but being polite and kind gives them a good feeling knowing that a good person's watching thier kid(s).Hope i helped and you have fun.

You and your friend should both take a Red Cross babysitting class (Go to your local red cross to schedule one). After you take the class, they give you a card saying that you are red cross certified, so if you show the parents the card, they might trust you with their kids.
]
that;s a great idea! I think you will be very succesful because maybe parents will be more apt to trusting two mature kids becuz in case something goes wrontg there are 2 people to help. You could try putting up signs around your town/neighborhood or pamphlets in mailboxes saying a little bit of information about you and if you've taking a redcross class or a babysitting course. good luck!

It is a good idea to baby-sit with your friend, especially if there is more than one kid, or if you run out of things to do and your friend has another idea. It would be kind of hard to convince the parents to baby-sit their kids with your friend, so just present yourself in a respectable manner, tell them good things about yourself and you friend, and the parents will most likely want you to baby-sit their children.

before anyone will trust you, you need experience. first take a babysitting class. there, they'll show you how to care for the kids you're watching. after you're finished with your class, try babysitting for people you know. this way, adults will know that you have experience, and they'll be able to trust you with their kids more. good luck! =)

well babysitting is a great job and it is very easy if you kno how 2 handle little ones...but you have 2 show them that your reeli gunna take care of there child and not jus sitt around...and make a scedule it always works...trust mi ive done it b4!

first u and ur friend - take a class then just try to bbysit kids round ur neighborhood. then if you like it can start to baby sit ne one ! then once u take a class and babysit around ur neighborhood , u can tell the child(ren)'s parents and they will prolly feel safer !!!!!!!!!!!!! hope i helped !!

Maybe some of your parents friends have some friends that you have never met that you can watch their kids, then you can see if your parents friends have friends that need a babysitter, if that makes sense

take a class for babysitting first off, then you can put up flyers or something saying that you took that class n you should have people callling ya
