How to Get Babysitting Jobs

Babysitting jobs are perfect for someone looking for a flexible, fun working environment. Whether you are looking for your very first babysitting job, or you are a veteran at the trade, here's how to drum up more babysitting jobs.


•Step 1
Ask for referrals from the people who you already babysit for. Many babysitting jobs stem from one parent referring another to your babysitting services. Do a good job and you may find that babysitting jobs find you, instead of the other way around.

•Step 2
Look for babysitting jobs online. There are many parents listing babysitting jobs online at various websites meant for just that. You can usually even see the location and pay of the job before you even contact the parent.

•Step 3
Make a babysitting business card and resume. Market yourself and you will find more babysitting business. It doesn't have to be fancy; just a simple business card that people can refer to when they need your contact information.

•Step 4
Put up information about your services on school boards, in preschools, and in your local classified section of the newspaper.

•Step 5
Network. Ask friends and family if they know anyone who needs a babysitter or caregiver for their children.
