orphans answered Sunday May 22 2005, 3:33 am: If you cant figure this out, I wouldn't trust you with children.
-flyers are good. post some in local stores, ect.
-talk to family. they can put the word out.
-try pet sitting. it gives you a good base to start off with, because at fifteen, most girls/boys have already been sitting for a year or two, so you'll need to catch up. [ orphans's advice column | Ask orphans A Question ]
Mackenzie answered Saturday May 21 2005, 9:55 am: If baby sitting is an option, you definitely ought to tRy that. HowqeveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you know exactly how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume, which would be teRRific. PaRents aRe wayyyy moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. TRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds of youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. Also, you can tRy putting an ad in the papeR, if possible. How 'bout lawn mowing?? Lawn mowing - big money to be had theRe; geneRally $20.00 - $65.00 peR good sized yaRd. Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. Goodluck! [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
icey0990 answered Thursday May 19 2005, 9:15 pm: well i have a younger brother who is in preschool...and he goes to a day care sometimes..so if it were me i would have my mom tell the person who runs the daycare that im available to babysit..i would leave my name and number with the person who runs it. putting signs around is also good..even an add in the paper if you can afford it. i bet if u put one add in you will be in business. it only takes a little bit to get started and from there..the people you babysit will tell their friendds 'o i have a great babysitter..here i'll give you her phone number' so there you have it..little things like word of mouth and posting signs can really put you in business [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
Saynotogymclass answered Thursday May 19 2005, 7:36 pm: You can work in an icecream shop. If you want to babysit ask your parents to help you get an add in the paper or make flyers and stick them in mailboxes. Thats how we got our babysitters!

cK_tO_tHe_rEsCuE answered Thursday May 19 2005, 6:43 pm: You could post up signs in your neighborhood or other ones saying you are looking for any kids to babysit && make some money. Also you could walk door to door asking if people know of anyone who needs a babysitter..hope i helped!

ello_there_matie_lol answered Thursday May 19 2005, 6:00 pm: ok .... how i got my babysitting job was easy. i asked my aunt (because she has a young child, so he has lots of playdates) to ask around for me. one of her friends sed okay, and now i have a job! if you dont have an aunt, ask people with young kids in your neighborhood if they need anyhelp. if that doesnt work, cheer up! with your birthday coming, you'll get some money.
hope i helped! [ ello_there_matie_lol's advice column | Ask ello_there_matie_lol A Question ]
