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

I am a college student at Seminole State College. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I graduated from The Master's Academy. I played softball for 5 years. I serve at my church with kids. My regular week has recently been full of school and church events. I am Christian, but if you do not want me to talk about that to the kids, I will not. I am 18 years old. I have a lot of experience with kids. For example, I already babysit for my neighbors, I volunteer at my church in our kids' camp, and I have always been around kids. I am very sociable and I like to do a lot of activities if possible, and I try to limit screentime depending on my parents' allowance. The most I try to limit it to is an hour of screen time, if that. If you have any questions about me or about how I babysit, I encourage you to message me!
