We had the son of my wife's coworker watch our kid a few times for no other reason than nobody wanted him to babysit. He'd get a few calls, but once people found out he was male (his name could be male or female), they turned him down.
Society is not exactly keen on mixing males and young children. Probably easier to focus in a different direction where there will be higher demand.
