How old she is, when she’s usually available, any experience
Then just a little bit about herself that may sound appealing.

Answer by Tia D
Um, 11 is far too young to be babysitting! You do NOT entrust children to children! Babysitting is for teenagers not children

Answer by sake bomb
her age and anyone who’s willing to vouch for her!

that’s very important.

if she’s got experience, (in relations with kids and people in general) include that.

Answer by tulip1489
she seems a little too young to be babysitting but include phone number, e-mail, availablity, how much she will charge per hour etc.

Answer by mom.marlee
include activities she likes to do with children, a picture of herself, available evenings and weekends, hourly rate
put “references available” (if she has any)
put “CPR/first aid certified (if she is)
any babysitting classes she has completed
If she doesn’t have references and isn’t certified, try starting with family and close friends. Not too many strangers will hire an 11 year old. But babysitting is great! I did it all through high school and college and then was a nanny for a couple of years before having my own kids!
Have fun!

How to Create Babysitting Flyers

Babysitting is a fun and potentially lucrative job if you’re in high demand. One way to create demand for your babysitting business is through flyers. These flyers can be as simple or as detailed as you’d like. The most important part is the information that’s included on the babysitting flyer.

Step1 Make your name the centerpiece. If you’re part of a babysitting team, be sure to highlight the team name. When people are looking at your flyer, you want them to remember who you are, not the pretty designs.

Step2 Add your phone number or another way to contact you. Most parents prefer to contact you by phone because it’s more personable. However, email is acceptable in some circumstances. The flyer should include the best times to call so parents can easily reach you.

Step3 Determine your cost for one child and the cost for each additional child. Parents are more likely to choose you if they know the cost to expect ahead of time. Don’t cheat yourself to try to get jobs. Babysitting is hard work, and you deserve a fair rate of pay.

Step4 List your qualifications. This is a time to highlight your talents and abilities, and your flyer is the first step to let parents know their children will be safe with you. Previous experience and any certifications you’ve obtained are sure to impress parents.

Step5 Choose a design that’s appealing and easy to read. Funky artwork and text may look fun, but it also might distract from the message you’re trying to send to the parents. Your best bet is to stick to a professional design with a basic font, but allow yourself to appear kid friendly.

Step6 Print a test copy before you print the flyer. You may be surprised to see that something doesn’t look right or that there is an error on your flyer. Have close friends and family proof your flyer before you print out several copies.

not to be mean but if i saw a flyer for an 11 year old looking to babysit i wouldnt attempt to call at all. I would be a little worried about it.

If i knew you, then it would be a different story.
