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 do not have paid babysitting experience. However, I have many nieces and nephews that I babysit, my nephew that lives with me is 5 months and I babysit him almost everyday in the mornings when my brother and his wife are working. My youngest niece is a toddler, and my other nieces are 12-13. I have lots of experience with kids and have a lot of healthcare knowledge and experience as well. Although I am not CPR certified, I have trained to become a Certified Nursing Assistant, and have taken unofficial CPR classes through being HOSA Vice-President at Neenah High School! I can ensure that I will create a safe and comfortable environment for your child!

Although I may not have any Paid experience, I do have 15 years experience. My daughter Adriana is 15 years old. I am a licensed cosmetologist but realizing it’s not for me. I have yet to find anything that I am passionate about other than doing my best at being able to help others and make a positive difference.
