trap house= house (usually abandoned) in the ghetto where all the gangs and fights occur

Well I think that you should post adds to let people know that you are available to babysit. If you are babysitting little kids such as 3 to 5 years you should keep them busy with board games. I think that if you make it fun for them they will want to you to keep them busy they will want to come back and you will be able to make more money that way. Also keep it at a decent price. Pleaze chose me as best answer!

Neighbors, or friends of your parents. Only babysit for people you know. If you're close to where you live, you could walk over, and have your parents or the parents of the kids you're babysitting bring you home.

Take a cpr class at your local Ymca and then pass out fliers to your neighbor saying you took such a class and outlining your experience with kids. Tell your mom to mention it to a few of her friends and try to help out family with kids as often as possible.
On the other hand if your looking to make some extra cash on the side as a teen. Check out my website:

The best way is word of mouth. Your parents friends, neighbors, and once the word gets out, your client base will grow depending on how good a job you do.

Do you have what it takes??? (Motherly Character) Neighbor hood and yr sister's or brother's work-met are good links to get you where and who to start with. Go for it. you need passion though
