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 Lily, and I've been babysitting for several years. I have experience with children of all ages and genuinely enjoy spending time with kids and getting to know their unique personalities.
Growing up with a low-functioning special needs brother who had epilepsy taught me a lot about patience, responsibility, and caring for others.
I love staying active and keeping kids entertained, whether that's playing outside, doing crafts, helping with homework, or just hanging out. I also enjoy cooking, cleaning, and taking care of animals. I have experience with all kinds of pets since I grew up around just about every animal you can think of!
I'll be attending the University of Akron as a freshman in Fall 2026. I graduated at the top of my class with a 4.6 GPA and was an honor roll student throughout high school. I'm always excited to meet new families and would love the opportunity to care for your little ones!

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Charity Evans.
I’m currently looking for a full-time nanny position. I have hands-on experience working in a daycare setting and have also nannied for a family in the past. My experience is primarily with infants and toddlers, and I absolutely love helping little ones learn, grow, and feel safe and loved.
I’m also a mom to an almost 2-year-old boy, and I would love the opportunity to bring him with me if possible. I believe having him along helps create a social and playful environment for other young children as well.
