Do you need a break from your kids once in a while? I can help. I am responsible, creative, and I know how to have fun!
I will make sure they do all their homework and chores.
I am a good student, so I can help with homework
I can microwave and toast meals.
I am certified by the American Red Cross
Your kids will always ask me to babysit!
I can bring books and other activities.

I would say that you have references available. If you have never baby sat, ask a relative or neighbour that you have looked after their children to be a reference.. you can always ask your teacher too.. looks good though.

Sounds really good. But as some of the other people have mentioned, make sure you are able to provide some references. As a mother of three, it's a hard thing to leave your kids with someone. I feel better knowing I can check the references. Even if you've never actually babysat before, maybe some family members or friends or even some teachers could give you a reference. That would go a long way with me. Lots of luck to you. Sounds like you'll do great.

Sounds great. If I had kids I would want them to be sat by someone who is Red Cross certified! $5 is very inexpensive. I would pay more (if I had the money). You may consider having a sliding scale. That may be a bonus for you and your clients. Especially if they are struggling with money problems. But don't let anyone rip you off either. It sounds like you have great expirience and skills make sure you put that in your resume`. Good Luck! JB ;)

Sounds Great. But also include at the end " references available upon request." And have a list of names, phone # of people that were your past clients, maybe even just family members that you babysitted for free if you don't have many paying clinets, so that way the parents can contact them and ask them about you.
It seems as though you got a great chance at this. Good Luck.

It looks ok...but make sure that the state that you live in allows you to care for children if you're not certified. In Massachusetts you cannot even place an add in the paper about becoming a babysitter unless you're certified in childcare.

How about weekend rates?
Past certain hour rates?
More than 3 kids rates?
Hours of availablity?
Time for you to become available? Sometimes they only give an hours notice.
Any specializations with troubled children ADD and other?
Can you work with infants? Previous experience with infants?
How will you make them do their homework and chores?

if you have little brothers and sisters try mentioning that you take care of them at home. also once you start babysitting bring up names of people you have babysitted for.
also im not sure "creative" is a word parents look for in a babysitter. Try using "caring" or "confident".

Sounds pretty good, and pretty cheap. Cheap can be the way to go if you need more people to call you. But I think you can raise the price per kid. You deserve more money for more children. I'm sure no one would mind paying a little more.

Sounds good and cheap. Maybe too cheap. I might do $5/hr for 1 kid then add $2/hr for each additional kid.

Based on that, I'd trust you.
I'd also recommend a picture to go with it, to advertise what a wonderful person you are. Don't slack on your appearance, either. Dress nice :D
