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.

Hello,my name is, Shavonne and I love teaching children. I've raised 6 children of my own,(4 biological,2 GOD children)who are very educated,and productive members of society. In raising them I volunteered numerous hours as a room parent from ages 3-8 years old at their school's, as well as a chaperone on every single class trip up until High School graduation. Five years ago I was a cook at the church daycare for 2 years in which I also sat with the children ages 0-5years ,to relieve teachers for their breaks. I now am a School Bus Driver for Willingboro,and have been so for 2 years. Love watching children's minds grow and having the pleasure of teaching them new things. I am very interested in working with you and your family. Thank you for reading. GOD Bless you.
