You could put leaflets in their doors, or an advert in a shop window. Or you could just bring it up.

Go around your block or neighborhood or watever and post signs (BRIGHT SIGNS SO THEY WILL NOTICE) that say

Does your child need a babysitter?
If so Call (ur name) at this number (555-5555) for all your baby sitting needs!!

PS- inclde ur name, address and age

Maybe post a sign in your neighborhood or go door to door handing out flyers.Also, if you see the parents outside give them a friendly smile and ask how they're doing.When you see they're kids just say 'aw, they're so cute' people love those kind of compliments

sunshine1232 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 10:23 am:
hang up flyers around where you live and put your phone number on them in case if they need you they can call hang them out to people and you could say you are looking for a job and that you are willing to babysit a couple nights of the week
and also you could get your mom or dad to drive you to stores and hang the flyers up on boards with other papers that way people could stop and look and see your flyer. well hope i helped you.

Karen answered Saturday April 2 2005, 9:51 am:
If you want these families to know that you babysit, casually talk to them and the next time they talk about how they need a babysitter, simply tell them that you babysit and they will then know. You can also post flyers around your neighborhood and that will definitely let people know that you babysit. Or you can ask your mom to talk to these families and have her tell them that you babysit and such.

mrs_radcliffe answered Saturday April 2 2005, 9:30 am:
Put posters up saying "babysitter wanting job"that will help write all your details down and your age and how long you have been a babysitter and your number so they can ring you, And you can do little cards which you can post through the door!

girdy_goo15 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 5:25 am:
put up flyers or just when you see them on the street go up to them and introduce them and tell them that you heard that they have children and you wanted them to know that if they ever needed someone to help out with babysitting to give you a call then give them your phone number.

SAMzasis answered Saturday April 2 2005, 2:14 am:
My Brilliant answer:

I understand those kind of situations... Okay, so for your answer, this is what I'd do...(If I were you) and here's a step-by-step instructions. Yaaaaay!!!!

1) MAKE FLIERS: Use good ol' technology, to make some fancy flier, that advertise your baby-sitting skills. Use proper grammar, and make it look professional. Do not use the following colors: pink, any shade of green, purple, and black (except for the letters, of course). This would make it look better.

2) GIVE OUT FLIERS: Don't give it to random people though. Give it to your neighbors, whom you know, needs a baby-sitter, and then few other houses, who has kids. This will be basically free advertisement.

3) WAIT: Yea, a common thing teens now a days can not do. Wait, patiently. Don't press your advertisement too much, cause then it's not really that great. Just wait for a call and whatnot.

So yea, here's a sample of something I would write....

~BABY-SITTING!!!~
Dear parents.
Hello, I am SAM I. Am, and if you are in need of baby-sitting, I am the one to hire. Wouldn't you like to have a nice dinner-for two? Or a get-away from your kids, just with both of you? Well now you can, for I will be willing to baby-sit any kids, from age 1~12. I love children, and I would love to be around them. If you would like to meet me, please reach me at (343)XXX-XXXX, on Park Street, LA. Please feel free to ask any questions.
Sincerely,
SAM I. AM

Yea, that's a nice piece of art there.... Feel free to use that one. Hope I helped!!!]

~SAM

Lilbballbabe02 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:16 am:
Well Flyers are good. But if you don't have your own computer maybe you could hand make them. Just give them out around the neighborhood. Mybe try putting your rates on there and maybe even that you are experienced <if you are of course>
I hope I helped

ShYbl0nD3 answered Saturday April 2 2005, 1:14 am:
1. You can make fliers and put them in their mail boxes
2. You can start a conversation with them and say if they ever need a babysitter you can sit.
3.Newspaper Add (that's an extreme)
4. Play with the kids and then the parents will eventually ask if you babysit.
