    Babysitting business title
    Okay can I just get some cool babysitting business names? My business and I's original one was taken, turns out it wasn't original. So can I get some ideas of a SNAZZY, yes I say snazzy, and unused babysitting business names? Thanks so much <33333

    The best name is your two names, either firsts or lasts, and no website. A website for babysitting is ludicrous; babysitting is local. Start a Facebook page using those two hyphenated names and send out friend requests to your parents' friends and ask them to spread the word.

    And use proper spelling, punctuation, and grammar, which you are lacking here. Just trying to get you work.

    Joy is right. Web sites are worldwide. You don't need to find African or Swedish babies/children to babysit, just ones in your town and even your neighborhood. You are working too hard at this. You'd be better off making a list of potential customers you and your parents know.

    How old are you all?

    Um well we live in different towns and we don't know many people and we already have a whole thing planned so I don't want anyone messing with our plans. I want to know some untaken babysitting business names

    I'm guessing 11 or 12 years old.

    Your best bet is to try out different combinations here --

    Thanks for the link, but we need a name for our whole business, not website

    Won't your website name be your business name?

    The link I gave you is to try out different names and see if they are already taken. It will tell you what is still available, like a dot net or dot biz instead of a dot com.

    Well yes but the website is made by a website builder, not an actual thing. So the web address will be: email.webcreator.com/name email is email, webcreator is the web creator, and name is the name of our website. I know it's confusing

    I researched for my website at Godaddy and didn't have any problems once I found a name and registered it.

    So you both have cars and drive? How do you plan to get to and from your jobs?

    You feel that I was 'messing with your plans?' Holy cow. I was being realistic and have 45+ years of business experience. Babysitting jobs are obtained by word of mouth. People want to hire sitters through other people they know. You are a total stranger in their home taking care of their children while they are gone, an extremely serious matter.

    Good luck with your venture.
