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

Childcare is in my blood. My grandma ran a successful daycare for 26 years & I helped her every summer starting at 13. Those summers shaped the caregiver I am today and gave me a foundation I am grateful for. I bring 7 years of experience as a nanny and lead teacher, including years spent caring for non-verbal children with autism who required around the clock care. That work made me patient, calm, & attuned to the unique needs of every child. I believe in screen-free, imaginative childhoods filled with outdoor play, arts & crafts, and the kind of exploration that helps children thrive. You’ll never find me reaching for an iPad when there is a park to visit or a painting to make. Beyond childcare I am also a TV/film actress who loves to travel, which has made me adaptable, and creative. I show up wholeheartedly for every family I work with. These kids teach me just as much as I teach them. Every child I’ve cared for has left a mark on me and pushed me to grow in ways I’m grateful for.
