I am in the Richmond/Twickenham area and am 16 years old. I work on weekends in a restaurant but I was thinking about starting babysitting for a bit of extra money. Ive done it a few times in the past, but Im not sure how to get started.Doees anyone know of a free website or anything I can upload a CV or advertise that I am available? Thanks!
      Answer1:www.gumtree.com
      Answer2:I wouldnt do it on a website because it depends on where you live. You should make flyers instead and hand a couple out at your local baby stores. Make 10 flyers with 10 tabs hanging out of the bottom so that people interested can rip them off. Dont hand it out to people just leave it on street signs and post it on community areas. Dont forget to offer you name, times youre available, and how much you charge per hour. A reasonable price would be $8 an hour any time between 12:00pm-7:00pm and $11 per hour any times from 7:01pm-3:00am. People pay extra to see a babysitting certified certificate or a CPR certified card. If you have that, charge $3 extra. Remember to bring toys, know how to cook good food, meet there parents 30Minutes before you leave, and always have a smile on your face and never scream at the kids.
      Answer3:craigslist.orgyou can always find someone looking for help with kids there.
      Answer4:This question has come up before; it raises another question. Who would want to trust an unqualified stranger, with their child? Recent cases of child abuse highlight this. Realistically, you should look to friends and neighbours, who know something about your character.
