What drives the price

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 19, and I’m looking to babysit. I completed the Early Childhood pathway in high school, and I’ve also helped raise my niece and nephew, so I’ve learned a lot about caring for babies and toddlers. I’m comfortable with meal prep, planning little activities or lessons, and making sure kids have fun and stay safe. I really enjoy spending time with kids and helping them learn while having a good time.
