im 12 years old and im a certified babysitter.i have like 250 cards my mom and i made on Vista Print but i dont know who to give them too! i cant put up signs and i cant give out the cards to strangers... how can i get more jobs? or is 12 too young?




Hey girlie,

I don't think 12 is too young, if you're confident, capable, certified, etc. Try talking to your mom and asking if she has coworkers, friends, extended family, or neighbors to give them to. Talk to your friends' parents too - they could have friends with small kids! Babysitting businesses work best if you spread them by word-of-mouth. That way, you're not babysitting for strangers, but you'll be able to reach more than just the people you know personally!

So I was going to fill out that baby-sitting card thing, but I'm not sure what I should put in the 'About me' column?
Maybe like.. How many baby sitting job's Ive had?
I'm not sure..Tong




Hey Girlie,

Just tell a little bit about yourself. What are your hobbies? Do you have a nickname? What's you favorite color, food, game... Just make the card a bit more personal! Hope this helps Smile
