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’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 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!
