Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
Go to a website called www.craigslist.com
There are people posting ads saying that they need a babysitter or you can even post one of your own to let others know that you're available. You can search by area which makes it easier. Just get some help from an adult because it's important to stay safe!
Good luck!

screw everybody elses answer. no! im really just kidding but this is going to really help you. okay this is the way i got my babysitting job. okay go to craigslist.com and choose your state and look at all the categories search for childcare click it and you will find alot of people asking for babysiters around your area. some of them leave there number if not email them tell them what you do and if they are interested they will contact you back. now when you go to meet up with them make sure!!! you GO WITH A PARENT! never go alone okay.
hope that helped atleast a little.

If you live in a neighborhood with a lot of houses, printing fliers with simple information like your phone number is a good idea and you will probably get a lot of calls within a few days if you put them OUTSIDE of people's mailboxes, because I know in some states it is illegal to put fliers and such in the mailbox.
If you live in a town with a newspaper, try getting an ad in the paper [a cheap ad, obviously], or send a letter to the editor about it. Since a lot of people read the newspaper, you'd get some business there.
You could go around to local neighborhoods and pass out your fliers, or you could go door-to-door [if you're comfortable with that- maybe take a friend and have a parent following in the car, just in case] and ask people if they need a babysitter.
Good luck =].

One of my friends printed up a bunch of fliers advertising her services and posted them up in the local coffee shop. She also put them around her neighborhood too. It was a great way for her to let people know she was available.
For example:
-------------------------
Need a Babysitter?
Call (555)-555-5555 or email (insert email here)
I can babysit any day, any night!
Just call and ask for (insert name here)!
--------------------------
If you use this idea, just please don't give out your last name on these fliers, as well as your street address and such. It's easy to block a number or email address. Blocking a stalker outside your door is a little bit more challenging ;]
Have fun babysitting!
