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.

Hi! I am Jessica. I have my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UF and have been working with children (newborn-13 years) for over 16 years as a babysitter/nanny, a kindergarten readiness tutor, and a preschool teacher. I taught 1-year-olds, Head Start, and Early Head Start, designing lesson plans and doing goal assessments. I have been an afterschool nanny, helping with homework, taking children to activities, and preparing basic meals. I worked with elementary school kids, assisting with virtual school- keeping them on task, assisting with assignments, and further explaining lessons. I have experience with multiples, twins and siblings, and basic experience with children with special needs. I am the kind of sitter who will get on the floor and play! I am a non-smoker, CPR certified, and have reliable transportation. I believe in encouraging a child’s independence, while also providing caring and loving support.
