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 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.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Mollie. I am a senior student at USF. I will be graduating with my bachelor's in environmental studies with a concentration in environmental science this spring. It has taken me about 8 years to graduate because I switched my major, which my focus was elementary education. I love working with children and adore them so dearly. I am a very compassionate, loving person - I want to give all kids the world. I would be a perfect fit for anyone looking for a part time babysitter. I have worked with elementary school students up to adult ages. Some of the schools I was a teacher assistant for: Eisenhower Elementary, Dunedin Elementary and Middle, Oak Grove Middle, McMullen-Booth, and Sandy Lane. I worked with special needs students at Paul B. Stevens as well. I currently am a server at Kobe Japanese Steakhouse, but I am looking for something less strenuous on my mind and body. Thank you! I look forward to speaking with you. :)
