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’m 22 years old, I’m Brazilian and I speak both English and Portuguese fluently.
I’ve always loved working with kids since I was a young girl. My first babysitting gig was when I was 11 years old. I’m currently a paraprofessional at Beverly city school but unfortunately due to college hours needing a little more flexibility from me, my job can’t accommodate me for next year so I’m looking for something more flexible.
On my free time I enjoy playing pickleball, reading, playing the piano, and attending church.

A little bit about me

I am currently a substitute teacher and have been working in this role for about a year. I genuinely enjoy engaging with children and getting to know their interests, hobbies, and what makes each of them unique. I believe in communicating with children at their level, which helps build trust and creates a supportive environment where they feel heard and understood.
To me, childcare is more than supervision, but about creating a safe and comfortable space that fosters positivity, growth, and confidence, while leaving a lasting, meaningful impact.

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Victoria. I have my degree in Early Childhood Education with a 3.8 GPA. I have reliable transportation and I like to work as an as-needed-nanny That way I can make a positive impact on multiple families and children's lives.

I have been a nanny/babysitter for 25 years.I do what I love and love what I do when it comes to working with children.

I am a firm believer that early is on time, on time is late, and late is unacceptable. I am reliable, punctual, effervescent, loving, caring, firm when needed, mature yet a little kid at heart!

I have patience and understand that every child is different from how they behave, learn, and develop. The uniqueness each child has still amazes me after all of these years!

I love reading, arts and crafts, dramatic play, educating, baking, being outside, going on walks, adventures, nature school,and so much more!

I don't do technology at all with the children or myself as I believe children learn through play and modeling adults!
