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 am a mom and Yaya of 3. I became an aunt at age 6, from that moment on babies have been my passion. I began taking care of babies as a means of extra income in 1997 which enabled me to be a stay at home mom. My love of babies led to serving in nursery, Children's Ministry Director, and then nannying. I have a typical Mother's heart and want to be an extension of that to each client's family. I feel a child has more needs than physical, as a provider you have to maintain and ensure all needs; physical, mental, emotional. It brings me great joy to provide safety, love, and stability as an extension to the parent's while they are at work. A parent (Momma's specifically) rests better knowing their baby is well, safe and loved til they arrive home.
