You could ask a friend to get you one. If not make flyers and put them in people's mailboxes.

okay I know this might seem a little cheesy but this is what i would do i would go and make littles notes like you did and go and knock on peoples door that you know have kidsgive them the notes and ask would you be interrested in this? nobodys gonna make fun of you so there is no reason to be shy but I do know how you feel i am the same way but the way I got my baby sitting job is by doing what I am telling you I am not trieng to be mean but it doese work lol

ive been babysittin alot lately. i never volunteer myself to do it tho. my mom or dad always does. my mom directs at a daycare and thats how i get most of them. just ask your parents if they kno anyone you can babysit. thats all the advice i have,, hope it works.?!?

Tell all your friends that you are really interested in babysitting. Let them know that if they ever get a job offer that they can't do, (they already have something else planned) you would love to cover for them! If you do get a job this way thank your friend and the people you are babysitting for, and let them know that you won't let them down. If the kids like you, maybe they'll ask for you again. Just make sure you don't take over your friend's job!
