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 have 3 kiddos of my own. (All of whom are occupied with school during the day). My oldest is 16 and my youngest is 5. They are the world to me, so I can understand the importance of looking for a caregiver! We love going to the park, taking walks, watching movies, playing sports, board games and reading books. I personally love to do crafts with all my Littles. They're usually a big hit!
My experience with child care is well over 20 yrs. From infant to preteen. I'm extremely comfortable and happy to be around children. I absolutely adore them.
I have been CPR Certified for over 18yrs. I continually take classes and renew my certification as per the guidelines.
