Hi my name is brandy i am sorry that i did not make my question clear but i was asking for advice on babysitting i want to start but i just dont know how i did the flyers thing like everyone has been telling me but it just is not working for me so do you have any other advice
xxsima answered Monday July 10 2006, 7:37 pm: What did you put on the flyer? Did you put like 'i am a babysitter [[ insert number ]]'. If you did, put more information, like what ages of children you are able to sit, when you are available to babysit, how much you want to be paid, your phone number, ect. You may need more experience. If you have babysat before, put that you have a lot of experience on your flyer. In my case, I have babysat my cousins over the years. I know how to change diapers, feed babies, how to take care of toddlers, ect.
Not all children are going to be 7/8/9 years old and can find something to do by themselves. You'll need to have experience with younger children, too. Try offering to babysit your mom's friend's daughter/son. You can also volunteer or get a job at a daycare so you can be with kids.

If your parents have anyone they know from work, or their friends have your parents tell them about how you can babysit. If you have any friends who babysit then ask them to request you to their client when their not available. Try the flyer things again if you can and if you by the Babysitters guide by American Girl books it has ways to get around and a lot of advice on babysitting it also comes with activites and buisness babysitter cards you can make! Hope I helped!
