1st off are you certified with redcross in infant CPR? How old are you??
Craiglist might be a good place 2 find a job

wait...time only will tell...im 14 and i have a job of babysitting an infant and a 2 year old. its harder than anything but im well trained for it. it may sound like fun but if your alone with a baby and something happenes you have to bring a bottle bring a spit up bag diapers. its harder then babysitting a toddler. when i first started babysitting the 2 together i had to get help and even then i had problems.. now the baby is 2 months old and it is just as hard because you have to bathe and clothe the other one..but put up some fliers and a newspaper add...but the word of mouth is best have your gaurdians friends tell people about you and then before you know it u will be wanted everywhere....eventually u will get an infant but they dont stay like that for long...be ready for hell im telling you and bathing them thats a complete other story... enjpy what you have infants arent all they are cracked up to be and im one that loves babies

you could place an ad in your local newspaper, hang up signs at your local grocery store or ask people to spread the word that you are looking for a job babysitting an infant.

check your local paper and I hope you are certified in infant cpr. Because without it you cannot sit for an infant. At least not here in the united states. Good Luck.

Get yourself certified in CPR and take an infant care class. Then put an ad on craigslist, or give flyers at your local daycare, starbucks, or library.

Take 1st aid classes, get cert in CPR and watch other kids of different ages too. Many parents of newborns don't leave their kids with strangers.

if there is a YMCA in your area, you may get some information there. the one my little sister attends daily is the best. she's been there since she was a couple of weeks old. they have a very good program and a nurturing environment. and it's very affordable
