Taniqua's-teen-advice answered Saturday May 21 2005, 6:27 pm: Maybe you could put up flyers that you would babysit. Or ask others if they know someone who needs a sitter.

Mackenzie answered Saturday May 21 2005, 10:42 am: If baby sitting is an option, you definitely ought to tRy that. HoweveR, 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. Best of luck to you! =D [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]

I got a lot of jobs and my mom was happy because she knew and trusted the people I was sitting for. [ silentkate's advice column | Ask silentkate A Question ]
