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 am a college student studying medicine and I absolutely love kids.I hope to one day be a pediatrician and make impact in children’s life’s in the hospital. I first started nannying because I used to cheer and dance in high school and I started coaching and helping out in summer camps and eventually coached a full year team with kids ranching of ages 4-9 and since me and a lot of the kids on the team already had a good relationship I started babysitting and taking care of some of the kids on weekends and also would pick some of them up from school and staying with them until there parents arrived from work I I continue to do this up until I moved to Tampa for college and have not yet found any families for me to work with yet. But I am so excited to hopefully find one and have an amazing time with your kids! A little bit more about me when I’m not studying. I’m usually reading going on walks or talking workout classes, going to new restaurants and hanging out with friends.

A little bit about me
I grew up in a huge family. I am the 6th child out of 9 children. Caring for others has been a natural part of my life for the very beginning. Being surrounded by my sibling has taught me patience, flexibility and the joy of creating new memories with the children.
In my free time, I tend to be a bit adventurous. I'm usually off doing something fun like drawing, trying new foods, watching movies and trying new hobbies. Most importantly, I love spending time with my family. They're known for turning ordinary moments into special ones!
