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! I'm Ro; a NY native who recently moved back after living in NC for 6 years. I have 15 years of experience in a variety of childcare positions. While my educational background and experience as a Speech-Language Pathologist sparked my interest in childhood development, my passion for childcare started long before that. I have been a babysitter, nanny, camp counselor and most recently, an infant-toddler teacher.
Outside of work you'll find me creating art, studying astrology, or cuddling with my fur babies. This year, I completed a Postpartum and Infant Care Doula training through ProDoula. I’m looking for part-time childcare work while I re-acclimate to life in NY and pursue my passion to open my own doula agency.
I look forward to hearing from you!
