Network with your friends, family, and neighbors and find out who needs babysitting services. This is a much safer way to find families than the newspaper or advertising in other public places.
Once you get the job:
1. Set limits for yourself. Think about how many children you feel qualified to sit for and what ages you feel comfortable taking care of. Plan the days and hours you will devote to personal time and baby-sitting time.
2. Get training. It is important for you to know basic first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the event of emergency. You will also learn valuable behavior and time management skills.
3. Determine your rates. Check with friends or the people at your training course for customary and reasonable charges. Come up with your rates before you take on your first job.
4. Ask to visit the house and meet the children prior to your first day or night baby-sitting. This will show professionalism. Also, you will get a chance to meet the children and familiarize yourself with the neighborhood and house.

offer to mow lawns for 10 bucks. per side(depending on size of lawn)
babysitting(if the child show's they are mature enough for the task)- slightly older children is probably safer
see if a neighbor needs help with cleaning out a garage or something and wouldn't mind paying a little for the help.
and of course there is always the good old stand by of having a yard sale!

Clean out your good clothes and toys that you have grown out of and have your mom list them on ebay. Possibly even take them to a consignment shop.
Sometimes, parents with young kids might enjoy having you as a mother's helper while shopping, etc.
