Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
heres some tips- ive decided on bulletpoint form, for easier reading rather than blocked paragraphs.
- If you have references, it would be favorable. Obviousely if people are going to leave their children with you, they want to contact other people who have recieved your services, to check the quality.
- Your could start with family which would start you up, and help with references.
- You need a good reputation- if you're some sort of hooligan that terrorises the neighbourhood, then people are not going to leave their children with you.
- You need to be mature- people dont want to leave their children with a child, if they wanted to do that, they would have just left them by themselves.
- You shouldn't overcharge. People may want you usually for when they go out as a couple. For example, if parents decide to go out from 7pm-10pm (3hours) you should charge $5-$10. Work out something competitive and affordable per hour.
- Advertise around the neighbourhood with flyers. Print something simple out e.g. Name, Number, Price, Details of your service (when you can work etc). Just post them around the neighbourhood.
Hopefully, people will recomend you to other families, and you will become popular if you provide a good service. Hope i helped :)
