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.

"Jocelyn was such a pleasure to work with! Heaven sent truly ! As a new and first time mother having to head back into the office i was a wreck at first with terrible separation anxiety. However, Jocelyn helped make the transition so much better than i could have imagined. I could be a bit overbearing sometimes but she didn’t mind the constant check ins, photo updates, random FaceTime calls, and even just hearing me a reassuring me during these tough times. She’s very sweet, Caring, gentle, very patient, and ALWAYS punctual ! She cared for my daughter from 6 months old until she was 6 years old on and off all while helping other families and working other jobs in between. I would recommend her a million times over to anyone looking for someone trust worthy and like family to care for your little. If she’s ever back in NY i would gladly hire her again. Especially since my little always asks for her bestie !"
