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! My name is tiffany and i’m an online graduate. I work at a baby daycare and have also nannied/ babysit over the past 3-5 years. I’m very reliable and easy to make a connection with! I adore children and creating connections with the families while also helping out . I have experience in kids from the age of 3 months to 10 years old and i’m fully capable of handling any other age! I plan on going to school in a few years to be an ultrasound tech for babies and hopefully be able to do that in clinics or hospitals. I am also a great cleaner ! So with babysitting i’d also love to help around cleaning , meal prepping you name it . I’d love to help out the best i can.

A little bit about me
Hi my name is Sierra! I used to be a teachers assistant/aid for kids in Elementary through High school. I very much enjoy working with kids, the only reason I left was I couldn’t survive living with the pay they gave me. I’m looking into nannying or even some babysitting.
More on me, I have a fur baby named Reggie and he’s my light. I’ve been in Florida my whole life, born and raised. I love doing crafts and spending time outdoors like at the beach or finding something new to explore.
