Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

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
My background combines luxury hospitality, business ownership, and hands-on household management, but at the core of everything I do is a genuine love for taking care of people. I naturally enjoy making life easier for others and staying one step ahead of what might be needed.
In my most recent role as a House Manager and Nanny, I supported a busy family by helping keep their everyday life running smoothly. This included school drop-offs and pick-ups, taking the children to activities, and keeping the home organized and clean so things felt more manageable for the parents. I enjoy the balance of caring for children while also maintaining an organized and clean home environment.
My experience with children also includes my time at a luxury resort, where I worked in the recreation department and supported the kids’ club. In this role, I helped lead family activities and provided childcare for guests, always ensuring children felt safe, engaged, and cared for during their stay.

As a mother myself I know there’s so much anxiety behind selecting a caregiver. I try to be the caregiver I would want for my kids. I’ve cared for a multitude of children but have a big heart for the kiddos who need a bit more love. I’ve specialized in infants, caring for children with extra or high needs because I know the anxiety of hiring a caregiver when your child needs extra love. Whether that be the colicky baby, potty training toddler, feeding tubes, behavioral disorders doesn’t matter. I care for them all! I love spending time doing activities and keeping the kids engaged and active. I have experience with newborn-adulthood. I’d love to meet up and see if I would be a good fit for your family! I’m open and willing to discuss pay rates as well. I’d love to be able to bring my infant but I am still willing to contract if you rather not! Thanks for taking the time to check my page out 😊

Recent reference
"I can’t recommend Kallie enough as a nanny! She has such a natural gift with kids and goes above and beyond to make them feel safe, cared for, and understood. What really sets her apart is her experience working with children with special needs—especially supporting autistic kids through transitions, which can often be challenging. She approaches every situation with patience, creativity, and genuine compassion, and it makes such a big difference in the day-to-day.
Kallie is dependable, trustworthy, and always brings a calm, positive energy into the home. I would happily refer her to any family looking for a nanny who not only cares for children but truly connects with them and helps them thrive."
