Advertise all you can and hope someone calls you is all you can do.
Go talk to them and ask their requirements. You are definitely at the right age for babysitting....even if they claim their business to the government, you can still work at your age as long as you have a work permit from school. I would just ask them about it. And good luck to you...its rare that kids your age want to work at all when mommy and daddy provide everything. You show responsibility, and for that you should be proud of yourself. And follow some of the advice below....advertise by posting flyers in the grocery stores, put them in people's front doors (avoid the mailbox cuz thats a federal offense).
Get some colored paper and make posters, be competitive something like, EAGER TO WIN YOUR TRUST, REFERENCES AVAILABLE, COMPETITIVE RATE, how about WILL READ AND HELP WITH NUMBER, TUTORING AVAILABLE! Pass these out, in the mall's and neighboring stores check to see if you have to have a solicitors license if its in malls, otherwise, go door to door, church, kindergarten and day care center. Look at the stores, there not afraid of competition. use your head and shoe leather. Good Luck, go get em!!!!!
