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 Madelyn. I am 18 years old and, while I do not have much experience caring for children outside of watching my family member’s kids here and there, I am looking to gain more experience with kids. I enjoy reading, writing, painting, listening to music, and spending time outdoors and with my friends and family. I have a lot of experience with cooking and am in the culinary program offered by my high school, so I have the ability to cook if desired. I am good at being patient and understanding when it comes to children, and I love to spend time with them and like to help them learn and explore new things. I believe that I am good at helping others, and I try to be a good role model for those younger than me. I am available for most days in full during the summer as well as times after 2 pm once the school year starts. I hope that I can be a good fit for you and your child.
