To let people know that I wanted to babysit, I made flyers that showed my name, adress, e-mail, phone number, rates, and my experiences with kids. Then I gave the flyers to people I know that have kids.
My Rates
1-2 kids ~ $5.00/hour
Each additional child ~ $1.25/hour
*When you are babysitting a baby under 10 months old, you should ask to be paid a bit more than your regular charge, since you must give more attention, change the baby, feed the baby, and put the baby to bed.
Finding Work
To find work when you're getting started, ask around. Maybe your neighbours or others you know have heard of sitting jobs. When looking for work, be careful:
*Don't ever advertise. Anyone could take your name or number. Not all people have good intentions
* Don't sit for people you don't know or who haven't been recommended. Babysitting for strangers you don't know could be risky if you know nothing about them.
*Meet with family before agreeing to babysit for them. Even if you are referred by someone you know, you may not like the situation in the home or attitude of the parents, or you may just not feel right about it. If so, don't take the job.
Have fun, Be safe!
