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'm a Millennial SAHM. I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old. After having children of my own, I've experienced first hand how much they need the one on one connection, daily engagement & stimulation, patient correction & direction, proper nutrition, consistency, & love. I would love to provide that for another little & their family, hopefully embarking on a lifelong bond between my 27 month old son & your child but also a reliable extended family & village too.
