babysitting flier - critize please?

Question

Should I add or change anything in this:



Need a Child sitter?


My name is***** *****. I’m _____ years old (*a certain age* in *a certain month*). I have had experience at babysitting my youngest brother while our mother is at work and entertaining next door neighbors. I am very responsible and organized and look to baby sit this summer.

My number is (***)***-****

The best time to call is around 4pm-8pm at night. We can talk about the rate then.

I can baby sit between the hours of 4pm – 8pm and no longer than four hours. I am available every day, but Sunday.

I would also like to setup an interview before the date to baby sit at. This will help me with learning about the likes and dislikes of your child and house safety.

I also do:

•Pet sitting
•Mother’s helper


Thank you in advance!

I havent done any classes, but know CPR and have read up throughly on child safety

Answer 1

Need a Child sitter? Pet sitter? Mother's helper?


My name is*****. I’m _____ years old. I have (# of months) experience babysitting my (age) year old brother. I know CPR and have studied child safety. I'm very responsible and organized and will be babysitting this summer.

My number is (***)***-****

I will be available during the evenings Mon-Sat for 4 hour babysitting sessions. Please call me to set up an interview so I can learn about the likes and dislikes of your child and house safety. References upon request.

You shouldn't give out personal details such as exact times you are available and where your mother goes when she leaves you alone to babysit. Be careful and good luck.

Answer 2

It's way too wordy for a flier. I'm thinking a lot of people aren't going to read all of that. So, I would pretty much cut everything out except for the first line, your name, age, and phone number, and possibly the hours they can reach you at. You can tell them everything else over the phone or in person.

However, it may be hard for you to get clients this way. Most people don't want strangers to watch their kids, especially nowadays. I would talk to your parents and have them ask around, like at work or with their friends. Also, you should talk to your neighbors, and if you're active in the church, definitely talk to people there.

Good luck!

Answer 3

It sounds good. Maybe you should either take a CPR course so that you are qualified or at least mention that in your flier. Definitely mention the extensive reading. I wouldn't include your full name for the flier, just the first. Make sure that one of you parents is present or waiting outside while you meet these people, you never know what kind of sickos could call if they know who you are etc. I'm sure you know this but just in case. Good luck with it =)

Answer 4

For people unfamiliar with you, you do need to state that you have references available upon request. If you are certified CPR, then put that as well. Not too sure about the pre-interview...not many parents have time before hand and usually you get to know the child when they hand him/her to you with a list.

Other than that, it's not bad. Good luck! :)

Answer 5

very effective! you're explaining your words to the component so there should not be any surprises once you're employed. Very professional for a 13 year previous. in case you particularly need to electrify.. The purple bypass has a application for babysitters which comprise CPR and the Heimlich Maneuver for choking. Certification might seem great on a sitter resume. stable luck.

Answer 6

Take out the ''and we can talk about the rate'' because that is obvious and takes the focus away from your childcare abilities.

If i were you, I'd make a separate flier for pet-sitting !

Answer 7

change the bit about the next door neighbours, it sounds like you entertain the actual neighbours rather than their children, say what ages the children are that you have experience of looking after too

Answer 8

I like it, it is honest and concise, you are a bit limited in your times, but that is okay. Good luck, I need a sitter, or rent a friend LOL!!!

Answer 9

It looks like you've covered all bases. If I had young children, I'd consider you. If my kids liked you and you didn't do any damage, you could use me as a reference.
Good luck. I think you'll do well.

Answer 10

it looks good but change the about babysitting while ur moms at work and replace it with something l;ike good expirience, or been-there expirience. and you should write on there that you know CPR and first aid
cause everyone knows first aid. pour on some puroxide and slap on a band aid.
