Do you have something like "Craig's List" in your area that you can tap for free advertising? Also, start collecting reference letters and certifications for any child care courses you take. Maybe pring some business cards with your photo, name, phone number, and the words "Baby Sitter," and then tack these up in all the grocery stores and any other place where business cards and ads are welcomed. A lot of young girls are afraid to give out their phone number, but baby sitting is a business, and you can't run a business without a contact number. Maybe get a prepaid cell phone with a number that you use only for the babysitting business.

I think you have to have a state identification number of some sort, saying you took some kind of classes, I havent taken cpr or first aid classes, but none of the kids I have taken care of, have been seriously injured or killed. So I guess I have a good track record. I have a clean driving record. Plenty of good references. I just want a few hours here and there, not all day or over night, nothing like that.

thats normally only if you register to be a full time babysiter
but you will be paying tax then aswell so i would advise it
just go out on your own and do it
if you have good references you could give potential parents there numbers and stuff
