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 28 and moved to coupeville a year ago. Looking to further my child care skills. I have customer service skills that help me be social, patient and able to multitask. I worked as a paralegal taught me more on confidentiality and senior care facility that helped me more with responsibilities over living people who depended a lot on me. Also I have culinary skills but working with people that has all different types of needs rather dietary or physical capabilities.
I loved helping in the senior living, helping them and giving them a good life, but I want to help families grow not just help people live.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Kailey, I’m 19! you can call me Kay! I have worked as a babysitter throughout high school for toddlers specifically, and then after i graduated I became a babysitter/nanny for one specific family until covid happened and the parents were home. I am very good with kids, good at discipline when needed, can handle emotional outbursts pretty well. I love to interact with what the kids enjoy playing, and I usually get called the cool babysitter for that haha! I love to clean and make the parents feel at ease. So if any laundry needs done, kitchen needs cleaned, kids rooms need cleaned, i’m your girl. I’d rather be doing something then laying around when the babies are sleeping or kids are watching tv. I am an online college student so being a nanny is a perfect job due to having time to also work and do school work when needed. I am also a food lover so your kids will for sure never be hungry! Mac and cheese is my go to!

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ali. I am an experienced mother and nanny with a General Studies Bachelor's Degree from IUSB, with a minor in The Foundations of Education. I studied to become an elementary teacher--all the way to student teaching--and had a complete change of heart. Despite great feedback from host teachers and supervisors, I did not feel like I was making the right decision going into the classroom. Although my love for working with children has not changed, I could not see myself in the traditional classroom, meeting the daily, intense demands of a teacher.

Instead, I took my love of teaching and caring for children to the nanny world! Being a nanny allows me to enjoy the parts of teaching I loved, while working for myself in a slower-paced work environment where the individual child can be better focused on. I love watching children grow and learn; I am always looking to learn myself, open to improving my own practices caring for children.

I am always trying crafts, recipes, and games I find from Pinterest. I love being active with the children I care for with trips to the zoo, library, parks, etc. My vehicle (a Ford Flex) is kid-approved, with TVs in the head rests (not used that often, but a life saver in certain situations), seating up to five children in the back. I am grateful to offer families a clean driving record and a reliable form a transportation.

I like to offer families assistance with errands, house cleaning, and any realistic tasks that I can do while nannying for their family. I am not a nanny that will spend "down time" on my phone or sitting around. I believe if I am on the clock working for your family, I am there to help. The children come first, of course, but I will often use nap times or times the children are independently playing to help around the house.

I am a trustworthy, reliable person. I understand your daily schedules revolve around my dependability.

Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have!
