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'm a college graduate currently back in school pursuing my nursing degree, with over 10 years of childcare experience. From newborns to pre-teens, I've had the privilege of supporting children at every stage, whether through babysitting, nannying, or helping families manage daily routines.
I'm CPR certified and committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for kids. I love planning creative activities, helping with homework, assisting with bedtime routines, and supporting parents in any way I can. I understand the importance of trust and communication, and I strive to build strong, positive relationships with every family I work with.
I'm dependable, flexible, and always ready to lend a hand — whether it's for occasional date nights, consistent after-school care, or last-minute help.
