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! My name is Nakiya, but most people call me Kiya. I’m a very patient, caring, and dependable person who truly enjoys being around kids. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where children can laugh, learn, and feel comfortable being themselves. I’m very organized and responsible, so parents can always count on me to stay on schedule and make sure things run smoothly. Even though I take responsibility seriously, I also love to have fun and keep kids engaged with activities, conversation, and play. I don’t have children of my own yet, but I naturally have a nurturing spirit and treat every child with the same care and kindness I would want for my own.
