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
Hi! I am a third-year undergrad psychology student at Widener University. I hope to go for Marriage and Family therapy so I’m hoping for more exposure with kids and families! I grew up taking care of my nieces and nephews but I wanted to expand my experience. I am very flexible and hope to create a fun but safe babysitting experience! I can understand Spanish also. I wouldn’t mind helping around the house, making food for the kids, or helping with things like homework! I like keeping busy, whether it’s doing chores or entertaining the kids, however you see fit.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Sonaiya, I'm 20 years old and I have a natural love for caring for others. I currently have a cat, a dog, and a turtle, so I'm no stranger to responsibility and daily routines. In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time in nature, stargazing, and trying new foods and activities. I'm a kind, easygoing person who listens well and adapts easily to different situations. Children tend to connect with me quickly, and I truly enjoy creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for them. One day, I hope to have three children of my own, and babysitting gives me the opportunity to do what I love while building valuable experience.
