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 Ari, and caring for children is truly something I’ve always been passionate about. I’ve been working in childcare since last October, but I’ve been around kids my entire life. Most of my hands-on experience is with children ages 2 and up, and I’ve also had the privilege of working with children who are autistic or developmentally delayed.

I originally planned to pursue a career in education, but along the way I discovered how much I really love early childhood work. While returning to school hasn’t been realistic for me right now, I’m grateful to be in a field where I can support, teach, and help children grow every day. I’m patient, reliable, and truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the kids I care for.

I look forward to connecting with families who are looking for someone caring and dedicated!
