TEENAGExHEARTS answered Monday July 3 2006, 11:51 am: do you just want to get the attention of your other neighbors or anybody in your neighborhood who is interested? well if you want a lot of babysitting jobs, then try putting up flyers. if you just want to get the attention of your one neighbor try showing them that they can trust you with their kids and that their kids like you. when you see their kids outside you can say hi to them and maybe play a game with them (if they are young like 4 or 5). or if your talking to your neighbors, you can just drop a hint that you are looking for more babysitting jobs. you can try saying something like..."I'm trying to babysit more this summer so that i can earn money for _____ [insert reason here]". it also depends on your age...how old are you? most people try to get someone between the ages of 13-15. if you are 12 or younger then they might be hesitating about your age.

Briefly state how much experience you have and say you have the backing of your parents (only if you have that though).
