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
Hello! I’m Bianca a pre professional dancer and Senior at New World School of the Arts and I’m also Vice President of my class. I love little kids and have been working with them at my dance studio and volunteering at my elementary school for several years. As a dancer you are apart of a team which as a whole has people younger than you on it, therefore you learn to work with the kids rather than being superior to them. Having someone take care of your kid should be fun for them and relaxing for you. I am very outgoing and creative while being disciplined and observant. While dancing and doing lifts all the time you have to be aware of your surroundings so that no one got kicked in the face or badly injured this is a trait I apply to my babysitting to make sure all the kids are always safe. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or anything!

A little bit about me
I am a Vanderbilt student with 5+ years of childcare experience from babysitting, summer camp, and early childhood education. I am patient, nurturing, and energetic. I genuinely love spending time with children and building connections with the families I work with. Through my camp and education background I have worked with children of all ages and temperaments, including in large group settings that required strong communication, creativity, and calm problem-solving. I also serve as a Learning Assistant at Vanderbilt, which has strengthened my ability to connect with people, explain things clearly, and be a steady and trustworthy presence. Families can count on me to be responsible, communicative, and fully invested in their child's wellbeing. I would love the opportunity to be a dependable and caring part of your family's routine.
