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 dog mom to 2 amazing girls. Bailey a 6 year old German Shepherd and Ash a 2 year old Dutch Shepherd. I've always loved working with kids and grew up always wanting a younger sibling. At the age of 12 I would help my cousin babysit and at 16 I got my first job working with Kindergarteners. In high school I worked at Kindercare with infants through school age kiddos. My favorite part about working with kids is seeing how unique each child is and to watch them learn and grow to become their own person.
I want to work with kiddos again to be someone that they can look up to and to inspire them that they can do anything they set their minds to.
My hopes are to become a Mom to more fur babies and hopefully if God willing to become a Mom to human children as well.
I cant wait to meet you and your family !!!

A little bit about me
I love being around kids and creating a fun, active, and positive environment! I coach kids (ages 3–12) in soccer, so I’m very comfortable keeping kids engaged, organized, and having fun.
I enjoy planning activities like going to the park, playing outside, doing crafts, or just making the most out of summer days! I am responsible, energetic, and always willing to help out however needed. I also have reliable transportation to drive your kids as needed.
