What should go on a babysitting card?

A babysitting card should feel friendly and trustworthy, with the essentials easy to find.

• Keep it clean with no more than two fonts and three colors.
• Place your name and phone number prominently on the front, and make the number the easiest thing to read at a glance.
• List certifications and specialties on the back, and consider a QR code and a professional photo to earn callbacks.
• Use 300 DPI images and leave white space so nothing feels cramped.
• Match the style to your audience: playful, colorful cards appeal to parents of toddlers, while clean, minimal designs connect with families seeking experienced nannies.
• Let the card feel like you, since sitters are hired on trust and a personal design reads as genuine, not generic.
• Choose a sturdy stock so the card gets kept; a waterproof or frosted translucent plastic card stands out from paper and survives bags, pockets, and fridge doors.
