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! I’m Kaylee, a recent Florida State University Studio Art graduate with years of childcare experience, having babysat neighbors, family friends, and grown up as the oldest of five siblings. I’m comfortable with large families and pets, having grown up with ducks, chickens, goats, cats, dogs, rabbits, and fish. I currently work for a nonprofit focused on kids, which has strengthened my skills in engaging children in creative and fun activities. With a background in art, I love crafts and imaginative play, and my high-energy past as a multi-sport athlete means I’m ready to run, play, and explore outdoors. I can also help with light housework and meal prep, and I have reliable transportation. I’m passionate about providing a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can thrive.
