Babysitting Jobs for Teens in Brooklyn New York

Where can I find babysitting jobs for teens in Brooklyn, New York. I live in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn and I have been watching my 4 year old twin brothers since they were babies. Now I need to find some way to make money, and watching kids is the thing I have the most experience with.

I am looking for steady work. During the summer I can work any day during day and evening hours, and while school is in I can work anytime from 4:30pm on. I want to make at least $10 an hour, and am willing to watch up to 3 kids at a time if they are all walking. Of course my fee would be a few dollars more per hour for more than one child. How can I find work?
