How can I open a babysitting business?

Posted at: 2014-12-08 
Consider places where parents might go to a lot - parks, supermarkets, etc. Higher end spaces in particular - Walmart would have more traffic, but also more people with less disposable income to go out and hire babysitters. If you're barely scraping by, you're not likely to have a nice meal out and the money to pay for babysitting.

You network with families at school, with families that your parents know, and with families in your neighborhood. I wouldn't hire a babysitter from a flyer.

If you do any extracurriculars, like dance, soccer, or softball, get word out that you are looking for babysitting gigs.

My friend and I are both 13, and in 8th grade. We are trying to make some cash, and both of out parents say it's a good idea.

We have experience with kids and we took a CPR/First aid course, so we are prepared.

Problem is, I don't know any kids that are younger than me, relatives or on my street.

How can we get the word out about our business? We have about 20 flyers to share, where can we put them up so A LOT of people can see them?

Thank you! :)
