Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Go to Craigslist.com. Find your town, post a creative ad, and you should get some responses.

Some good ways are to ask around, talk to your friends parents see if they know anyone in need of a babysitter. or you could put up some fliers around town, in local restaurants, and places that people would most likely see it. Let them know your age, gender, and qualities about you that would make you a good person to watch their kids - and also add a phone number and tell them you'd like to stay in your general area. Then hope for the best =)

hang signs up around ur nehborhood(sry cant spell)and put some signs up in the local stores and in mailboxes or on doors.

post signs in your local elementary school.

well its best to look for parents that both have have jobs and younger kids that cant tak care of them selfs and dont charge high it makes the parents mad

If you're a teenager or younger, bring an adult or a brother/sister and go from door to door within your neighborhood and ask if they needed some babyistting. It works. So maybe you should try it! Goodluck!

if you have a young neighbor- just offer to babysit- most likely the 1st couple of times you babysit the parent(s) will be home just in case...but if that dosnt work just put flyers in peoples mail boxes....it sound corney- but they will reply and you will have a babysitting job...
hope i helped...
muchh lovve

You can put up adds around your block or around town at your local hangouts.

Advertise in your neighborhood, school, or church. When people find out you're an experienced babysitter (I bet you are) then people will start calling when they need you. I don't suggest advertising at a grocery store though, because then random strangers can call you. In your advertisment, include your name, age, phone number, and ages you babysit. I suggest taking a babysitting course (like I did) and learn CPR. Parents look for babysitters who knows CPR and child care usually, and you'll find more clients that way.
Hope I helped,

Flyers or bussines cards are gonna help you..And you can also tell your neighbor about that..And maybe your parents can promote you for babysit to their friends..You know? Sometimes parents know the best for their children..So..I really recommend you to tell your parents to promote you to their friends.Hope I helped!

One way to get your name out is to pass out flyers in your neighbors mailboxes. Also if there is a local supermarket or resturant ask them if you can put a flyer on there bulletinboard with rip-offs of your number. You should be hearing from people in no time. hope this helps!

Make business cards and flyers. Have your parents recommmend you to their friends. Also, if you have a younger sibling, their friends or their friends younger siblings may need babysitters!

Right, its good to start out in an area that you know. So if you have little kids' families in your neighboorhood that you know really well offer that you could babysit. If you dont know the families enough to say that then send out flyers and put them in mailboxes or on trees. Put information about you like your experience, age, contact information, & stuff like that.

You could always make flyers and pass them out to people that are walking along the street. This one girl in my town made a lot of flyers and put them in everyones mailbox. You could always have your mom or dad ask some of their friends if they have kids and if they ever need a babysitter to call. I got my babysitting job from my brothers friends mom. If you have anymore questions, drop on ein my inbox!! Hope I helped and good luck finding a job!

Try making a bunch of fliers and distributing them on the bullentin boards at your closest couple of groceRy stores; free advertising -- that's what it's there for. 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. Call them crazy, but parents are more likely to give you their business if they feel their child will be safe with you. Also, you can ask your Mother to mention that you'd like to take up baby sitting with her co-workers. I'm shore that could rake in a few, at least one? =]
