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
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.
