What she did was started out babysitting any of our friends' siblings. She didn't want to put up flyers so she asked her mom to talk to her friends at work and mention something about her babysitting. As it turned out, her mom's old friend needed a babysitter one night. After you get your first babysitting job, the calls start pouring in. Whoever you babysitted can now mention your name to anyone they know needing a babysitter and soon enough you'll have plenty of babysitting jobs. Hope I helped!
