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 a Bachelor’s in Occupational Science and a Master of Science, along with over 6 years of childcare experience. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and have worked with children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids.

I love creating a fun and engaging environment for the kids I care for, whether that’s through arts and crafts, outdoor play, or learning activities that encourage creativity and independence. My background in occupational science helps me understand each child’s unique needs and support their growth in meaningful ways.

When I’m not babysitting, I’m usually spending time with my one-year-old dog, Layla, who keeps me on my toes and makes life a little extra fun!

I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and help care for your little ones. 💛

A little bit about me

Hi, I love working with kids. I had my own in-home child care for 6 years. I cared for 5 children at a time and truly loved seeing them reach milestones, develop their personalities, and try new things. I worked at my church with children for 20 years caring for children from 18 months old to 18 years old (not at the same time). I have raised 5 children, 4 with special needs. All of my kids are grown, and my grandchildren are getting older (they're in elementary school). I miss the days of watching them grow and develop into little people and watching the excitement in their eyes as they experience the world for the first time.
