You should make fliers or something and if you have some neighbors who have small children let them know that you are looking for a babysitting job.
Or look in the local newspaper for a thing to send in a ad. (idk if you can do that?)

you should ask for 10 pounds an hour. that seems reasonable.
or you can ask the parents how much they want to pay you per hour.
make sure the kids like you too, because if they do, then the rents are most likely gunna pay you more!

• hi - the best way is to pop a card in a local newsagents window. You could also send emails to local playgroups. The best way to start is by recommendation. Why not ask neighbours with children if they would like someone? You could offer to come round on a Saturday afternoon so they could see you play with the children, About £4 per hour is ok.
  good luck
