Me and my friend are planning on putting up ads and fliers around town to start babysitting. What are some things we would need to tell them about ourselves so that they would be comfortable to trust us with there children?What is some advice you have for beggining babysitters?

Have you considered taking a babysitting class? Some cities offer them at the local hospital or through the Red Cross. They teach you some basic first aid and CPR, what to do in an emergency, how to keep both you and the children safe, and some classes even teach you how to write a simple resume and how to find babysitting jobs.
I have a 2 year old daughter and would be much more likely to hire a sitter with this kind of training.
if it were me looking for a babysitter, i would want to have someone i know recommend one. and also i would want to know the kind of experience a sitter had w/kids and what the ages were they cared for. also, a babysitting course is very helpful- i took one when i was 13.
Each of you should take first aid classes, CPR, infant CPR, babysitting classes, any class that is offered by the Red Cross. Most of these classes are offered through a community center, community college, and at hospitals.
You need to go to the people you actually KNOW who have kids, not fliers. That is VERY dangerous.
Honestly, I wouldn't ask a stranger to care for my child.
