I am an American Girl doll fan, and I am trying to save up...well...$900 to buy American Girl Mia's Whole World on ebay. $900 is a lot of money, so of course I wouldn't ask a family member to buy it for me. I want to save up as much money as I can to add to my jar. My birthday is coming up here in May, and last birthday, all together I got $245 (some of it was gift cards though). So I thought if I were to just add all my extra change/dollar bills, change I find on the street or around the house, money for odd jobs (which doesn't happen very much), and birthday money then maybe I could get $300-$400. I want to have the $900 around September though, because it gets MORE AND MORE expensive as time goes on (Mia isn't sold anymore), so I was thinking about starting a babysitting business. I babysit for these two people like once ever 2 months. I usually get between $15 and $20. This will help once I babysit again, but it's just NOT ENOUGH. So I want to figure out how to run a babysitting business BEFORE I talk to my mom about it. I just need some tips!
Some things I need to know:
1) What should my fliers look like?
2) What is a good price p/hour or p/kid for the job?
3) I don't want to babysit babies, because I'm really bad at managing them. I can babysit starting at maybe 4 and ending at maybe 9, how to I write that on a flier?
4) Where should I post my fliers?
5) How should I meet with the people possibly BEFORE the night/day of the job?
6) If I get it figured out, should I make an email address for my business? Because I don't want to put my phone number on a flier and have it public.
7) Should I make a free website or something for more information and when I am booked or whatever?
THESE ARE THINGS I REALLY NEED TO KNOW! Please and thank you for the help.
You rock!
PS The reason I want to do this so bad is because this Mia Whole World thing is VERY important to me and I know I will ALWAYS treasure it. And yes, I NEED it. I know, I'm greedy sometimes. Everyone is.
