Babysitter advice wanted

Hello,
I am 15 years old and trying to become a babysitter. I have done a Babysitting course run by St John First Aid or the Red Cross. (Sorry, I cannot remember which). I have done first aid courses and sessions in school, at guides, canoeing courses and Duke of Edinburgh. I am also a Young Leader at my local brownie group.
I am looking to produce a leaflet to hand out to neighbours, family friends and Brownies (not strangers). What do you guys, as people with babysitting experience, think I ought to put on the leaflet. Also, what should I charge? I live in a village outside of Reading, Berkshire, if that helps.
Thank you.

I'd say because of your age you should only babysit for children and families you know well.

£5 an hour would be reasonable.

You need to think of how you'll get home after babysitting. Have you got someone you can rely on for lifts or are you expecting the parents to pay a cab for you? If so make sure they're aware of that.

Not sure whether you'll need a leaflet, might be worth putting one up at the brownies. If you're good and reliable word will spread.
