long time lurker; first post on this section. I am a level 6 nursery worker with various amounts of experience including SEN and new borns for over 10 years. I am currently looking at trying to save up as much money as possible and due to the nature of my job am finding it hard to get a 2nd permanent job.I have recently started to think about babysitting again (been a good few years since I've done it) Before I found families through word and mouth when I was training in early years. How do people go about finding families to work for. I am unable to advertise through my setting but have looked at childcare.co.uk and also advertising through the local paper. Do parents select babysitters through these methods or does it make people feel uncomfortable and therefore go through word and mouth situation. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should do to start the ball rolling; any help would be very much greatly received. I am based in East Anglia (western counties) if that makes any difference
TIA
