Tips to find a great babysitter without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best babysitters on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced babysitters with 10+ years. References matter more than years.
- Consider a share. If your kids are similar ages and you live near another family, a share is the single biggest cost reduction available without compromising on care.
- Be specific about hours upfront. Most babysitters will take a slightly lower rate for a guaranteed steady schedule than for a higher-rate, unpredictable one.
- Bundle benefits thoughtfully. Two weeks PTO, a health stipend, transit passes, education assistance, or an annual raise commitment can help close the gap with families offering a higher hourly rate.
- Match rate to responsibilities. A higher rate often makes sense once you add cooking, errands, or driving. Don't compare apples to oranges across listings.

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Bridget, I am 30 years old, a certified holistic health coach, avid snowboarder, and have 15 years of babysitting and nannying experience! I grew up with a little brother (6 years younger than me), so, naturally, I was a built-in helper/nanny to my mom. I was very eager to be independent when I was 13, which led me to take a babysitting course at the local community center to get first aid & CPR certified. I also learned about all the important details on kids’ safety and everything about handling babies from this course. When I was 16 I became a lifeguard in Malibu and worked at a surf camp where I got to teach kids about ocean safety and how to surf! I have worked for many families as a date night sitter and/or as a nanny all over… started in CA 17 years ago, moved to CO 5 years ago and have recently worked for families in Denver and Breckenridge. Now an Eagle local, I’d love to return to nannying / household management.

A little bit about me
I have been working with children since I was old enough to care for them. In high school I babysat and volunteered at Adams Camp (a summer camp for children with disabilities and their siblings). In college I worked at an early learning center on campus, and when I took a year off during the pandemic I nannied for various families.
I believe in treating children as autonomous individuals and prefer to follow their lead and interests rather than imposing my own upon them.
