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! My name is April Freitas. I’m currently a senior in high school and will be graduating with the Class of 2026. I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring person who really enjoys being around kids and helping out families when they need an extra hand. I’m someone who is very organized and patient, and I like keeping things fun but also making sure kids are safe and taken care of. I’m comfortable helping with things like meals, homework, bedtime routines, and keeping kids entertained with activities instead of just sitting them in front of a screen. Outside of school, I run my own small nail business, which has taught me a lot about responsibility, time management, and being professional with people. I’m also very family-oriented and used to helping out around the house and with younger kids. I’d love the opportunity to help out your family and create a safe, positive environment for your kids while you’re away.
