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

Hi! My name is Liberty. I provide care from my home in Hubert. I have a puppy and a kitten that are both cage trained so they're never out while I'm working without your permission minus emergency potty breaks for the pup. I love being out in nature, learning new things and binge watching my favorite shows with my husband whenever the military lets me see him. I grew up with a rough childhood where we struggled because of unsafe child care or child care that was too expensive. My goal is to provide a safe, loving safe for your little one to grow where you both can feel completely confident and comfortable whether it's a doctor's trip and you don't want the littles being around all the sick people or a 9-5 I'm here. I'm more than willing to do a daily rates too. I just want to provide for your kiddos what I wish I had growing up.
