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 can help you on the weekends, during the summer, and also for vacations. I travel solo often with 3 children, so I am travel ready. I am looking for part-time work, however, if you are looking for more than 25 hours, I am open to discussing your needs to see if I can assist you. I am an active, involved, educated and experienced caregiver. I have experience with multiple disabilities and elderly care, too.
I also tutor children, both in-person, and virtually.
