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
Hi! My name is Gracie, and I’m a nursing student at The Ohio State University. I’ve been babysitting since I was 13 years old and have experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to teens. I’m also involved with College Mentors for Kids, where I mentor and spend time with elementary school students. I hope to go into pediatric nursing in the future, which is one of the reasons I love nannying and babysitting so much. I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for kids while being someone parents can trust and rely on. I’m excited to connect with new families and provide caring, dependable support for your children!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m a dedicated and experienced caregiver with a true love for working with children. I’m a mom to a wonderful nine-year-old daughter, which has given me firsthand experience in providing a safe, nurturing, and structured environment.
I currently work at a hospital as a nursing assistant, where I’ve developed strong skills in responsibility, patience, and attentiveness. In addition, I have over five years of nannying experience caring for children ranging from newborns to 10 years old. I’m CPR certified and confident in handling a variety of situations with calmness and care.
I’m happy to help with light housekeeping, transportation, and keeping kids engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities—whether that’s trips to the park, outdoor play, or creative time at home. I pride myself on being trustworthy, honest, and reliable, and I always strive to create a positive, safe, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

A little bit about me
Hi ! My name is Jennifer I am a student at chagrin falls high school. I believe I am good fit for this job because I have experience with younger kids in the past. I know how to keep kids entertained and feel like they can relate to me a bit. Though I am missing some of these requirements such as first aid I am a good leaner and willing to try new things. I want my future client to know I am allergic to dogs and cats.

Hi Everyone! My name is Margot and I am 16 years old and altho I am on the younger side I am very responsible. I am enrolled in a self guided online high school program because of this my schedule is very flexible and I am available during the day. I have been babysitting, house sitting, and barn/dog sitting since I was 12 years old. I am interested in 25-30 hours of work a week. I have my own car so transportation will not be an issue.
