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 an 18 year old sweet loving gal from Kansas, and i have been passionate about childcare since i was one myself. children deserve ALL of our love and care. they are our future. my whole life i have been volunteering to babysit and teach Sunday school at church. additionally, my entire life adults have felt very comfortable allowing me to take care of their children because i prove myself to be trustworthy and their kids typically would beg them to because a kiddo will always have fun with me. healthy, brain stimulating, educational and most of all fun play is very important to me when i am with a kiddo. finally, i absolutely love to cook and clean and will very much be willing to pet sit as well. i am here for anything and everything you could need. thank you!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Julia Patton and I am the oldest of 11 kids. I have a lot of paid babysitting experience as well as helping out at home. I attend Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School and am going to be a sophomore for the [phone number hidden] school year. I get my license in late September this year, so this summer I wouldn’t legally be able to drive kids around.
I love to take kids on walks, do crafts, play outdoor games, and help them with their sports/ school struggles. I have a busy morning schedule, but am usually free in the afternoon!
