...of sorts..? Hi. Me and my friend would like to start a Babysitting business. How do you think we could get started? We plan on making flyers and hanging them up on telephone poles, and for the people we know that have children, we want to put a flyer in their door. What is a good thing to include in our flyers? I am Red Cross Certified. How would I slip that in there?
We don't want to take turns babysitting, we want to babysit the same kid ant the same time?

well, you can charge hourly or per kid and split the cash. when making the flyers just put all of the things you will be doing for their children. like: educational stuff, playing games, sports. and if you or your friend know how to play an instrument you might even consider putting in your flyer that you will be giving (insert) lessons.
make it very kid friendly but also responsible for the parents. Put there that their kids will be in the best hands since you have Red cross certification. but remember the flyer is not all. after you get a call mention that you would like to be interviewed by the parents that way you will feel more at home if you have actually spoken to the parents and gained their trust they will be shocked to see that you're not just looking for a way to get cash but that you actually care to do thing right. In the interview dress formally and rtake numbers of people who would recommend you. be polite and interact with the children but not so much that it seems that you are trying to hard.
good luck hope this helps.

Edit: i don't think you and a friend babysitter would be a problem. just mention to the parents that you are a team. and that this will be beneficial to the kid since you will both be teaching them different stuff. i'd only have a problem with this if it were people from different sex.
