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
My name’s Haley. I’m 18 years old and have both SIDS and Safe Sleeping certifications. I’ve worked with children of all ages.
I’m a reliable and easygoing nanny/babysitter who genuinely enjoys being around kids and helping families stay sane. I’m patient, dependable, and good at balancing fun with structure. Whether that’s keeping little ones entertained, or just making sure the day runs smoothly, I try to create an environment where kids feel comfortable and cared for.
I can be a little quiet at first, but connecting with kids has always come naturally to me. I love getting to know their personalities, keeping them engaged, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable.
I know every family does things differently, so I’m adaptable and pretty good at rolling with whatever the day brings. I’m not trying to be a Pinterest mom replacement — just someone you can trust to show up, keep your kids safe and happy, and make your life a little easier.
