Babysitting Flyers

Designing Your Babysitter Flyer

With easy flyer maker programs like Microsoft Word, Canva, and Adobe Spark, you don’t have to be a graphic designer to produce a babysitting flyer that looks professional and impressive. Software programs like these offer tips, tutorials, and free flyer templates that are ready to use, and you can even upload your own flyer. Whether you choose from one of our templates below or opt to create your own flyer design, a good babysitting flyer should have:

• Quality graphics and images

  – Although you’re marketing babysitting services you want to avoid a flyer that looks like a kids’ project. Choose graphics and photos that are relevant and engaging, as well as parent and kid friendly. Including pictures of yourself, happy babies and children, animals, and nature are all very effective.

• Clean fonts and engaging content

  –Use fonts that are easy to read and words that help convey trust, reliability, and maturity. You should also be clear on the steps you’d like your potential clients to take by using a call-to-action phrase such as: sign up today, contact me, visit my website, etc.

• Extras to Consider

  – A few extra design options you may want to consider adding on your babysitting flyer include:
  • An incentive, like a coupon or a discount for first time customers and referrals
  • A QR code that can be scanned to go directly to your website or social media page
  • Tear-off tabs that include your contact information

Where and When to Market Your Babysitting Flyers

Here are six ways you can market using your babysitting flyers:

• Libraries, community and recreation centers

  – Each of these neighborhood hubs typically have bulletin boards, free events, and kids’ programs where you can leave your flyers for others to pick up at their convenience.

• With your family and friends

  – Children’s birthday parties, holiday gatherings, and celebrations are all great occasions to share your services with the people who know you best. Allow them to help you spread the word about your services.

• Schools, local nurseries, and day cares

  –Some schools and care providers may be happy to share your babysitting flyers, particularly if you offer services during times that they do not (e.g. nights, weekends, holidays, etc.).

• Social media

  – Social channels like Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter are great places to market your services to parents as well as local and community organizations. Most social sites will also allow you to upload your babysitting flyer.

• Online message boards

  – Social networking services for neighborhoods, like Nextdoor.com and JustMyNeighbors.com, are prime places to reach stay-at-home moms, grandparents, and other caregivers in need of your services.

• Distribution services

  – If you have an extensive budget, you may want to consider using a flyer distribution service. These companies can help you target, track, and deliver your flyers to reach customers who earn a specific income, live in certain neighborhoods, have children, and other demographics that you specify.
