Sittercity and care.com are good places to start. We found ours over there and we love her. If you can show recommendations or have people serve as references then nothing like it.
Join neighbor groups on facebook for yuppie neighborhoods and post there!
I am currently looking for a sitter and can’t find anyone … using sitter city… kinda sad 😢
Pro
I used sittercity back when I was still babysitting for the extra cash. Get one or two families to write you a good review and you'll be turning down jobs left and right assuming you price your services right.
To get started just put any and all child-centric experience on your resume (camp counselor, baby-sitting, child development courses etc) and be willing to take a few one off gigs, maybe for less money than you'd usually demand if you need to, and if that goes well and they seem to love you, feel out whether they'd feel comfortable writing you a review, though this is easier if you've already established a relationship with the family so be at least somewhat cautious in accepting jobs you really don't want (i.e. families with infants if you prefer older kids, families offering insulting wages, families far away etc.)
