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’m an Education major, which means I’m not only experienced with kids but also intentional about creating fun, engaging, and developmentally supportive experiences. I’m also a member of my university’s soccer team, so staying active and keeping up with energetic kids is never a problem for me!
Coming from a large family, I’m very comfortable in busy households and understand how to balance structure with fun. I’m outgoing, responsible, and adaptable, and I’m happy to work with you to create a summer schedule that fits your family best. I’d love the opportunity to support and care for your kids this summer!
