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 am expecting a newborn son in early February, but I would not need to bring my son to work with me. However, I would like a job opportunity which is flexible enough that I could take a small break to pump breast milk approximately every 3 hours.
My ideal hours would be 7/8am-2/3 pm, on several weekdays, and I'd like to stay within/near the Fort Worth area if possible.
My starting hourly rate is 15-20$/hour, depending on how many children you have and their ages.
I have my own car (which is dependable and insured) and a clean driving record. I also have completed CPR courses in the past and have a clean background. Thank you, and feel free to message me with any questions or interest!

Fort Worth and had to leave my last family. I am looking to get back into nannying! I am going to school online currently. I love the outdoors. I spend a lot of time outside depending on the weather. I read and paint as hobbies. I also have recently taken up knitting.
