If you are making a flyer then make sure to put your name, age, how long you have been babysitting and which days oh and also how many hours. 15 is old enough to be babysitting because I'm 13 and I'm babysitting. I charge 5-6 dollars an hour because you don't want to make too high or else the parents might not pick you. Per kid I would maybe do the same price as one but for each so if you had 2 it would be from 10-12 dollars/hr. |

Be sure and brag on there if you have had any special training at all that is relevant
like infant CPR, red cross first aide classes, or something like that
P.S. you might want to call the red cross and ask if you can sign up for a course |

Bold letters: NEED A BABY SITTER?
CALL __(your phone #)___
small letters: ask for (your name)
Then on the bottom you can make little tabs with your number so that people can rip them off and go home.
Don't say you are 15, they might not call.
Good luck. And yes, you are old enough. |

MOMMIES, DO YOU NEED SOME HELP???
I'm 15 years old and I'm looking for some new babysitting opportunities. I love kids and I'm very responsible.
So, If your looking for a CPR certified babysitter, and someone with experience, Please call Brooke at 555-555-5555.
I charge 6.00 an hour for 2 kids and 7.00 for more than 2.
(start at what ever minimum wage is these days then add on a dollar for more than 2 kids)
(you need to get CPR certified if you arn't already. That is one thing mom's look for. Go to the nearest hospital and sign up for a class) GOOD LUCK GIRL |

Put things like a) your availability b) the areas you service c) the maximum number of kids you will sit at one time and d) people always like a flat rate so maybe you should charge a flat amount based on the number of kids and a minimum number of hours (I would suggest using the minimum hourly wage times two to begin with and maybe a minimum two hours) |

you want people to trust you with their kids so you have to sell yourself as a responsible person. if you're involved in any community groups (church etc.) list that and if you're a straight A student, make sure that gets on there and have a list of references ready if anyone wants to check up on you.
I don't think you can charge more than minimum wage being 15. |

OK, be prepared to get lots of calls if you word it right.
Parents want to know:
~ How responsible you are ("Responsible 15 year old with CPR training," for example). Have you had CPR, babysitting training or other experience?
~ How much you charge. In my area, a 15 yo can easily charge $8 per hour. It would be helpful if you said on the flier something like $7 per hour for school aged kids, $8 if there are preschoolers or $9 per hour if there are infants in diapers. Up to 3 kids. I would appreciate facts like this.
~ How early or late you sit (mornings, afternoons, evenings and nights as late as midnight except Wednesdays, for instance).
~ Your phone number. Do not give out your personal cell phone. Give out your family's land line. Remember, there are some weirdos out there who would love your cell phone #.
~ Your family's email address, if your family has one.
~ Say references are available. Call a few people you babysat for and ask if it's ok to use them as a reference.
Then, you'll need to answer the phone somewhat professionally, take down the info correctly, and show up on time or early. People are making plans around you.
Some people will pay you even more if they like you. Good babysitters are as rare as jewels, so don't be surprised if your schedule gets full. Don't over commit.
Bring some books or basic toys with you in a babysitting bag. The kids will look forward to your arrival! Keep the kids safe most of all!
Finally, share your schedule with a parent so they'll know where you are for safety's sake. Good luck. |

You are old enough, just don't bog yourself down with too many kids at once.
Depending on where you live I'd say you should charge no less than $8. per hour per child. Try a nice soft colored paper saying something like
Available for babysitting in your home for that much needed night out.
Call me for rates and hours. |

quick question for you....have you been CPR certified for babies and children??? If not, go get certified....your certification is good for two years through the American Heart Association.
Once you have done that, you will be a greater draw for jobs:
On your flyer:
- Name
- phone number
- CPR certified
- willingness to sit at your house or theirs
Things not to put on your flyer:
- salary expected: this is better to talk about in person with your prospective employer - minimum wage is $5.15 per hour; if it were me, I would charge by the job. Agree on a price with your employer and stick to it. |
