Don't answer if you're only in it for the points!? |
I want to start a babysitting business. I am currently creating a website, CPR certified, and a FACS (Family And Consumer Sciences) student. I am very qualified, but how do I get clients? I need to make a lot of money by Sept. 2008 so I can pay for my sports league. Please help. If you answer, please be sure that you are not spamming! I want real answers. Don't say "I don't know" or I will report you. Anyway... thanks in advance to all of those who will give a great response! The business cards and fliers is a good idea. Make sure you put your website address on the fliers. Go to all the local schools and hand them out to the parents. I wasn't quite sure whether you were to be an agent or do the baby sitting yourself. Try looking at www.sittercity.com. You could learn from them and copy them in your local area. Source(s): "Internet Riches" by Scott Fox has an article about a babysitting website sittercity.com You could call the local Social Services to see how to become a Certified Day Care provider and once you do that they can give your name to the parents. A web site is good too but you can advertise yourself in the Classifieds under Child Care or Babysitting. Good Luck! maybe you could put up posters around your neighborhood and you can put your add in the newspaper Well, if you are talking about babysitting at night, I would call your local day cares and see if you can post information for parents in their lobby. If one person does it and appreciates your services then you should get good word of mouth. Make business cards, this is what I did when I started babysitting. Put those cards in mailboxes in your neighborhood. Put your available hours, and certifications on their too! Good luck! Getting certified through Social Services is a great idea, but may take time to get certified and to get clients. You may try hooking up with a local community center or church for childcare leads. If you could work part time at a day care facility you might meet parents who need evening and weekend care. Post an ad at the local supermarket. Be sure to include your qualification on anything you post since your qualifications are quite impressive. Good Luck |
