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.

Hi! My name is Cassie, and I am 24 years old. I have two years of daycare experience. I was a floater for a few months, then I became head teacher of the 2-year-olds for the summer! I was then a floater again for a while. I moved daycares and I was almost entirely in the infant room for over a year! I would also watch some of my daycare children on the weekends or days that daycare/preschool was closed. I have 2 years of nanny experience with twins. I love reading books with children, doing arts and crafts, having dance parties, baking, and exploring nature.
