Babysitter Business Cards
Having a business card is a great way to show that you are serious about babysitting. It’s also a great way to easily provide information to parents that need your services. Make sure your parents and families that you babysit for have extra cards to hand out. As a mom, I always ask my friends for recommendations and a business card is an excellent way to get the word out. You can put just your first name on the card. Clear it with your parents before you begin handing out cards with your personal info on them.
If you want to make your own cards, check out the software that you already have on your computer. Many home computers come with templates and free clip art that you can use. Microsoft has a free template section. HP has free templates that you can download and use with Word. Avery sells business card stock and has free software you can use right on their site to design your card. An even cheaper option would be to go to Vistaprint. They have free designs you can choose from but if you check out their premium options, the Childcare designs are adorable and is really about the same cost as printing your own. They have 27 designs to choose from and they’re really cute!
Have some fun creating your own designs. Don’t forget – this is about babysitting. A hand-drawn image is perfect for this kind of card. You can even scan in something you drew as a little kid for a whimsical look.
Speaking of free templates, Microsoft also has a Babysitters Checklist and Babysitters Instructions that you can download. If you show up with these, you’ll look impressive!
