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 preteen named Abigail and I love children and love taking care of them. I’m sweet kind, bubbly, and funny. I have a great personality and attitude and vibe. I have a brother who is six years old and he is autism on the spectrum and I have babysat
at him before so I deal with autistic behavior every day so I am used to it and I love to take care of kids, especially that are on the spectrum and kids that are very very sweet
but I also just absolutely love kids overall. I can cook and do lighthouse work and I am friendly with pets and although I am young, my mother would be with me just making sure we’re OK. She wouldn’t really do anything. She would just stay with us and make sure everything‘s OK but I am a good cook and I can clean decently.
