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.

As a filmmaker, I love art and all things crafty so the possibilities at playtime are endless. Though my openness to entertain endless questions has made me historically well suited for kids aged 4-9 years old, I value nurturing curiosity with patience and instilling confidence in kids and teens of all ages.

Hi, I have raised 6 children in my lifetime. The most recent were my two grandchildren. My grandson is special needs and required alot of attention. With every child there is an individual need to provide for the well being of that particular child. During the first few visits I usually have that child’s needs recognized and start addressing them accordingly.
