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
Hello, my name is Lynea. I am a 47 year old, single mom of three daughters, two of which are grown adults living on their own. My oldest has a soon to be four year old son, which would be my one and onlY grandson! 😁(Still hasn't hit me that I'm a grandmother!) My youngest daughter will be 17 in October, and in September, she will be entering the 11th grade. I grew up in Hainesport, and I currently reside in Mount Holly, and I've been living in Mount Holly for approximately 15 years. Most of my adult life has been devoted to my three girls, and I was very fortunate enough to have been able to stay home and raise them. Because of that, and the fact that I also babysat other children throughout the years, I have many years of experience with children of all ages. I do not have a certificate for CPR, however, I am more than willing to obtain one if you guide me in the right direction. I am a very outgoing, friendly, positive, trustworthy person, and I pride myself in that. Thank you!
