Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care 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 child care 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 currently pursuing my degree in Early Childhood Education, which has given me deeper knowledge about child development, learning styles, and age-appropriate activities. I’ve also had the opportunity to work alongside therapists and educators, giving me additional experience supporting children with unique needs.
As both a caregiver and a mom, I know how important it is to find someone dependable and trustworthy. My goal is to treat every child with patience, warmth, and encouragement while supporting their individual growth.
