writes:Would you hire a sitter who advertised via fliers?I love babysitting. I know people need sitters. The family I'm sitting for is moving away and I want more clients. The trouble is, most sitting gigs are out in suburbia, where car free students like me who can't drive can't reach them.I normally find jobs via networking but nothing's come up lately. Would it be a bad idea to spam 100 fliers around the neighbourhood and anywhere I could bike to easily? I'm a super sitter who love kids, had first aid and cleans the house when the kids are in bed if it's evening work.How many references should I have? Will the last family I worked for be enough?Would you hire me if I was your neighbourhood? I'm a normal looking 21 year old female. Reply to this Question

I think if you put ''phone to arrange to meet me for an interview'' or something like that..it would be ok. Obviously you should word it better than that lol. I dont see why you shouldnt put leaflets in the doors. And you never know, if you start babysitting for someone...they may refer you to there friends.
