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.

I am a mother of 4, grandmother of 7. I had twins to start off with. I raised all my children pretty much alone. I helped raise one of my grandchild’s in first 12 years. When my twins were younger before the other children came along I use to watch children in my home for a few years. So as you can see I have many years of experience. I am not currently certified in CPR or First Aide. However I was certified years ago and I am willing to get my certification again.
