Hi Everyone - mums, nannies and everyone else!

I am trying to gain some experience as a babysitter. I have put an ad on "find a sitter" but had no replies. I am just wondering if anyone could advise me on where to advertise locally? I am thinking of just getting out there and putting up cards - at playcentres, the library etc
Babysitters what has worked for you? Mums where would you look for a babysitter?

I have seen the thread with everyone advertising thier babysitting services but I'm not in London, I'm in Chester, Cheshire.

Any advice much appreciated, (my first post on mumsnet, although I have lost whole hours lurking and reading posts on here!)

thankyou,
Catherine

Word of mouth is the way I hire a babysitter ... sorry if that's not very helpful.

Try joining an agency. I only use agency people / people I know / people that are recommended to me.

I would never use someone from a card in a library.

Try Sitters.co.uk
