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.

Hi! I’m Ava, a 16-year-old babysitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I’m a straight-A student, and I’ve learned how to balance school, extracurriculars, and responsibilities while always showing up prepared and dependable. I love finding ways to keep kids entertained, whether that’s playing outside, doing crafts, baking, reading books, or helping with homework. My goal is to make sure they have fun while also creating a safe, caring environment where they feel comfortable. I know how much trust it takes to leave your children with someone, and I don’t take that lightly. I always do my best to be patient, reliable, and someone both parents and kids can feel confident about. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and be someone your children enjoy spending time with.

A little bit about me
I am a mother of 2 girls, a 3 and 6 year old. I served in the military for 9 years then earned my college degree from UTSA in education. I substitute around San Antonio as a teacher. I am a mother of a hearing impaired child and because of the therapry sessions and lessons, my girls are both thriving. I realized the amount of joy I have while working with children and would love for one day to make a career out of it. I will work weekdays, weekends when needed and would like to work from my own home due to my own responsibilities for my daughter. I am open to travel especially if I get to share moments and what I have learned with other children.
