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 like working with kids because I love watching the development of them and the things that they learn. Kids can teach you things all while your are teaching them .
I'm looking for a job is respect & appreciation
I started working with kids a very long time ago. I have always been the oldest cousin/sibling and I loved taking care of others . It seems as nurturing just came natural to me. I take care of my 5-year-old special needs brother every single day so I am very use to being around children 24/7.
In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family the most. I love relaxing and watching moves and things to do with investigation.
One thing you should know about me is that I am a very hard worker and a perfectionist
My skills include communication, problem solving and creative thinking.
