I have taken some early childhood education clasees, but don't have a degree. I have lots of experience with kids, though, and am looking for a way to supplement my income. What's a good way to word a flyer so that people will call? As a parent, what would you look for in a babysitter, and what would catch your eye on a flyer?

make the word "babysitting" bigger and slightly more eye catching than the rest of the flier. moms don't generally have time to stop and look at all the pretty fliers that people hang up, but the word "babysitter" is like saying ice cream to a five year old! Second, put limited personal info about yourself, there are too many weirdos out their that might want to use your info for other reasons. i suggest first name and phone number, and make it a cell number if you have one. then make it clear that you have experience, education, and references to share when contacted. as a mother of three, references were a big thing for me when we used child care. blessed be.

Put on it that you love children, that's if you DO. Let the Mom's know your rates and whether they are negotiable with certain circumstances (off and on, weekly, single mom discounts, etc.). Also, I'd need to know what ages your are working with and what the ages are of the other kids you babysit, if you'll babysit more than one at a time and where, do you come to me or do I need to take baby to you.

I would suggest going to a CPR class. This is something that parents like to see and is always a good thing to know!!

Definitely emphasize that you are experienced. If you have CPR/first aid training put that on there...You could put something like "I am an experienced, well-trained, flexible, mature, and responsible person"
