What drives the price

Most Herriman families pay somewhere in the $7–$25/hour range. Where a given family lands depends on a handful of factors. Three of them drive most of the spread.


01

Experience

Experience is one of the biggest levers on a babysitter's rate.
Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

02

Number of kids

One child is the baseline. Each additional child usually adds $1–$2/hour. Twins and infants tend toward the high end.

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

Hey there! My names lizzy! I'm very upbeat so children love to be around me. I am also very professional! I am Christian. I have good standards and morals. And most of all I just want to give the parents a break. I remember what it was like for my parents and so I want to provide some relaxation for the parents while some comfort of knowing there kids are safe and healthy!
I’ve been a dancer for 11 years now and have been a dance teacher twice! So if you have children that dance I’m super good in that area!! I enjoy crafts and being creative! I love anything outdoors such as going to parks or swimming or even just taking a simple bike ride! I also am a pretty good cook! I do have a culinary certificate and have my food handlers permit! So if your little ones love cooking or baking I can teach them some good tips!
I also pride myself in reminding all the kids Ill be spending time with that I don’t just work with them, I like building a relationship with them!☺️
