What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Put up flyers, put an ad in the local newspaper, or even just start off with word of mouth. "By the way, Mrs. Smith, if you ever need me to stop by to take care of Jenny if you want to go out, I'm available." Get your parents to tell their friends or your neighbors that you are looking for a babysitting job. If you're looking for a weekly job, the parents will usually ask you a few questions, watch you interact with their child(ren), etc. Make sure you're prepared: If you have long hair, tie it back, and dangle earrings probably aren't such a great idea either. Babies and some toddlers love to pull things. It's a good idea to wear clothes that you aren't going to be upset about if the clothes get a tiny paint stain and/or etc.; kids are kids and accidents happen. Also, make sure you're prepared to talk about your past experience, personality, etc.
Find your next job. Seek regular work.
