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 is Vanessa, I'm a 23-year-old half-Mexican girl who was born and raised in San Diego, California, which allowed me to experience a mixture of different cultures and ethnicities. I'm bilingual, fluent in both English and Spanish, and certified in both CPR and first aid. I've worked around kids of all ages my whole life. I come from a large family so I have years of experience with babysitting family and multiple kids. Other than family, I started out in childcare by volunteering at church from the ages of 12 to 17. When I was 18, I became a live-in nanny for 2 years to a 2-month-old boy and a 6 year old girl whose parents worked in healthcare. Most recently, I worked at an after-school care program where I cared for and interacted with over 20 kids aged between 4 and 10.
