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 family has raised and disciplined me into being a very independent kid. I started doing my laundry independently in 5th grade, cooking meals for myself in 6th grade, and cleaning up my various spaces (bed and bathroom) at that same age. I am very ready to tackle house chores and cooking.
I've volunteered with the Kiwanis Club at my high school to work with young children and have enjoyed all of my experiences. As a creative person, I love making art, listening to music, and having dance parties! Any energetic kid won't be neglected in this department, but I can also handle calmer children by offering a serene environment for relaxation. As a straight-A student, I can also assist older children in their academic assignments.
I'm excited to meet, care for, and engage with any child I meet!
