Im only 13 , 14 in january, i live in apartments..
i need some extra cash cause my fam is broke! i need room stuff and some clothes and shoes.. we might move in febuary to a house so! ya..
i need advice, on how to get started and some flyer ideas..PLEASE HELP
i chargde $8 an hour and an extra $1 for every additional child
I think 8 dollars an hour is a little costly.
Try 5 or 6 dollars an hour to get more customers.
Find out where the locals go often and hang flyers up there.
make the flyers catchy, try neon and highlighters....or try making the words pop out by taping the letters on!
Make sure the words are big, maybe print the flyer on a computer so that you seem more professional.
Hand out pamplets at school, ask the principal if you can make an announcement, hang flyers on bulletion boards.
As for when you are babysitting, the first time is judging time. If you didnt do a good job the first time, chances are that they won't want to hire you again or tell other people not to.
So make a good impression. Try to find out what the kid likes before-hand so that you have activity ideas.
Go to the dollar store and buy some little toys and games, use about 10 dollars, you'll earn the money back and the kids will probably like it.
Hope this helps!
