| I'm sure there are websites out there, but.... When I was young and wanted to earn extra money babysitting, I put a couple handmade signs up at the ends of a couple of streets near where I lived. I got a few folks like that and then word of mouth gave me more business than I could use! The other thing that works is (not sure if you are younger or not) Church contacts...ask around. Friends of parents..talk it up! There are usually little bulletin boards in the grocery store too... Good place to put a little flyer up about your "Babysitting Business" Good luck! |

| My dtr, Krysten, put her name on a couple of sites when we lived in SC and she got some good jobs. One was so good that they have kind of adopted her and she will be living with them while she gets her degree. She is on her way there right now. They are taking her to Alaska next year with them. I will find out the name of the site today and give it to you. She met alot of very nice people by using it. She also met some not-good-ones who wanted something for nothing so you have to be firm in what you are asking. Good luck.

| I posted an ad on craigslist.com with a picture and phone number contact. They keep it up for 7 days. At first I got a couple spam e-mails and then about 10 calls from parents in my area (Davis, CA) looking for a nanny/babysitter. I've had to turn down a bunch of jobs because I am being called so much. I hope that helps! you just go to craigslist.com and then select your area (i'm not sure if it is just a CA thing??) and then post you ad and info! Goodluck!

| Krysten couldn't remember the name of the site but she did say that the ones she was on were very trust worthy. Your information was kept private - not just listed there for anyone to see and anyone who was looking for a sitter had to pay to get the names. As soon as she gets her computer up and running (she just went away to school), she will try to find the sites for you. Best of luck to you.
