Babysitting Business help?

Posted at: 2014-12-08 
It is expensive to rent space. Probably $1,000 per month or more. To break even, if you charged $100 per week, you'd have to have ten customers. And that's just for rent. You'd also need to pay utilities, buy food, toys, supplies, etc. I think you are dreaming. You are a child.

Before anybody says that I'm insane for what I'm about to ask, hear me out.

I'm 14 years old and I'm a babysitter. I've been certified 2 times and I wanted to expand. I usually babysit for my cousin but for some reason this summer she got some random new girl so business is slow unless she calls me to babysit on days the other girl cant. I recently got recommended to babysit a little girl by someone I use to babysit for. I ended up not being able to babysit for her because my parents aren't comfortable with having a little girl at our house especially with puppies running around. That was like $125 I lost right there. I wanted to know if anybody knows of somewhere I can start my own babysitting business? I want to be able to have people bring them to me if they aren't comfortable with me at their house. I had a plan of finding a small place to rent (like little shop places for sale) and I have money. I understand I would have to get my parents on board before anything happened so don't tell me that. I have close to $600 and I'm looking for small jobs to earn more. My plan for if I did go through with renting is to start off with just me and my best friend who is also certified. Then I we thinking I could possibly hire for during school days if I raked in enough business. What do you guys think? Tips on places to look possibly? Maybe websites I can easily earn some cash to help with the plan? PLEASE DONT BE RUDE!
