Ok, a good place to find babysitting jobs is church. There are plenty of good people with little kids there. And if you are scared about the whole infant thing and some kid choking then take an older kid. I advise that maybe you don't take a time to babysit them when they have to eat. Or if they must eat something, things that are small and easy to eat are good. Usual an adult won't leave you to make a full meal so giving them little treats will make them 1. like you more and 2. they have a less likely-hood of choking on them.

But really the main thing here is that you shouldn't babysit until you are sure you are absolutely ready and are confident with being able to take care of another person.

Be careful and happy babysitting.. :)

Maybe u should ask your sister if it would be okay if you took over for her one time and start from there. Talk to some new neighbors that might have kids before your sister does. Maybe even ask your mom or something ig she could find somewhere else you could babysit.Hope that helped!

just go to people that live around you and ask them if they would like you to babysit one day for them and give them you number so that they have no reason not to say I dont no you number thats how I got a job...

baby sitting is fun! ask your sister if you could come with her when she babysits to get the hang of it, then go around your neighborhood introducing yourself to people and handing them the flyers yourself. It's safer.

Just talk to your sister and ask if you can babysit one of her "customers" next. Maybe she can tell everyone about you and then the word will go around and people will know about you. Hope I helped :)

Have your sister tell people about you. The word will spread. They'll tell there relatives and friends. Or just put flyer in your neighbors with little kid's mailboxes. Good luck!
Hope I helped!
