[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like you’re an adult with limited non-family references. Ask to babysit your nieces and nephews on a weekend. Then arrange for it to be a play date with their friends (just 2-3 kids to start). Do it a couple times, let the friends rave to their parents about you (and they will, if you’re involved in planning activities and fun, no parks or the like!). In 1-3 months, start offering to babysit those those kids. After you’ve been doing that for 2 months, it would be reasonable to ask them to be references.[/quote]
