Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
you could fnd a friend that would babysit with you and ask people you know with younger kids if you and your friend could babysit for them sometime. If you dont know anybody with kids then you could try putting flyers up leaving your name and number and if somebody needs a babysitter then they might call you.
Good Luck!

well first make sure u took a class or something and you know who your going to babysit from the start. Parents that dont no you well want to know exactly who is going to be with their kids all the time. also i recomend doing it by yourself unless there are more than 2 kids. Parents plan to pay a set rate and they wont pay extra for more people being there wich means less money for you. also send out flyers saying you are relable and have expirience and charge a low fee.

Well they always have babysitting courses at hospitals and some other place, but thee thing is you have to be at least 11 to do it. My brother did the course when he was 11 an he said it was kinda fun (i mean he is a boy). You learn how to hange diapers and how to do CPR and a bunch of important stuff. They always make it so that its fun while you are busy learning.

Give flyers to neigbors or stick them on poles or mailboxes or something. Ask a friend if she'll do it with you and sit and wait for calls. Hope I helped and good luck.

well, first, ask a friend the you would think would be interested in babysitting if she can work with you. then you need to spread the word. you can make flyers, send e-mails, or just tell people in your neighboorhood. then they will call or talk to you soon if they want to hire you. thats it. just spread the word and wait for calls! hope i helped!!

try putting up posters around your neighbourhood or ask your mum to put in a word for you when she sees her friends or maybe put an advertisement in your local newspaper

Unfortunately not many people want to pay more than one person to babysit. If you don't want to do it alone you may need to wait until you are a little more mature. :)

babysit old people

I started out by filling in for friends who couldn't make a babysitting job. There was kind of a whole group of people in my neighborhood that helped each other out.
Word of mouth is the best way to go! You could also make flyers or call around your neighborhood, community, church, etc.

If you have friends who want to babysit also, join them. Make a club. Then make fliers and such to present yourself to the world. Before you know it, you will be babysitting little children!.

Well, even though its ur first time babysitting. The parents are going to ask you if you've had experience with children. You start babysitting by seeing if theres a family in your neighborhood/down the street, if they need a babysitter, and you voulenteer for the job. Its a lot of responsibilty though. Good Luck.

You need children to babysit. Talk to neighbors and adult friends. See if your parents know of anyone. If worst comes to worst, flyers are okay. Most parents prefer solo sitting unless there's more than four children. The chances of you and your friend goofing off is less when you're not together. As you know, babysitting is an extremely important responsibility, and parents want to know you are focused fully on their children, not chattering with your friends. If you feel that uncomfortable, talk to the parents or sit for shorter periods, but if you don't want to babysit on your own, you may not be ready to sit. Either do mother's helpering or find an alternative job, such as pet sitting or cleaning.

If you don't want to babysit alone, ask a friend if they would want to babysit with you. And to get started, make ads or something. Or go to neighbors' houses that you know have kids and ask if they need a babysitter.

So get a fRiend oR two to do it with you. TRy making a bunch of flieRs, and distRibute them on the bullentin boaRds at 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. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you and youR fRiends 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. PaRents aRe moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. I wish you and youR fRiends the best of luck! Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. =D

My advice would be to get a friend that is also good with kids, and set up a sorta babysitting business. Make flyers to give out, and make a price sheet, that says how much you charge per hour and all that. I did that about a year or two ago, and I actually got alot of babysitting jobs off of it. Good Luck!

Hang up signs if you wish around your neighberhood. Have a friend team up with you and advertise for the both of you. If signs aren't helping, let it travel through word of mouth. Ask people or let people know you are interested in babysitting. That always helps.

You should babysit with a friend that has babysit before and if you dont have a friend that babysat before then just get a friend and then get some toys that a baby likes to play with abd a bottle full of milk.

Hey! When I first started to babysit, I took a class called babysitters clinic and that was through the park district. They teach you all that you need to know about babysitting and they halp you make flyers and business cards to hand out. I know that it helped me a lot and I think that it would helps you start out with babysitting.
Good Luck
I hope this helps
