Create a flyer to advertise your babysitting business.
A well-designed flyer made for your babysitting business will help spread the word about the services to parents. Adding graphics and informative text in a structured layout clarifies what you offer and the type of experience you have. When creating a flyer, include contact, pricing and other relevant information to make it easy for you to get more babysitting jobs.
Instructions
1. Jot down the basics of your services: how much you will charge each client either by the hour, by the job or per child; and where you will babysit.
2. Write down your contact information and list any qualifications you have. A certification in CPR or first aid can go a long way in securing quality babysitting jobs.
3. Ask a friend or relative to take some picture of you with children. Use these photos as images for your flyer.
4. Create the layout for your flyer. Use markers on a large sheet of blank paper to create a rough draft for your flyer. Print out the pictures and arrange them on the paper. Figure out the name of your business and list it at the top of the flyer. List the services you offer and what your clients can expect from your work. Include your rates, your name, phone number and age as well as your qualifications.
5. After arranging and creating the rough draft of your flyer, make a second, revised copy. If hand-printing, write in simple, block lettering to make it easy for potential clients to read. Choose light colored paper with dark ink such as blue or black. Limit your color scheme to no more than two colors. Tape the pictures to the flyer.
6. Scan the flyer in to a computer or use a copier machine to create the final version of your flyer. Post the flyers in highly visible areas such as libraries or coffee shops.
