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

My name is Krisoleidy, and I am 19 years old. I am currently attending Dallas College, where I am majoring in nursing with the goal of becoming a pediatric nurse. I have always had a passion for caring for children, especially babies, and I hope to build a career in the healthcare field where I can make a positive difference in their lives.

I attended Hebron High School and graduated in 2025. Coming from a big family, I am the oldest on both my mother’s and father’s side. Growing up, I often helped raise and care for my younger siblings, which strengthened my love for children and taught me responsibility, patience, and leadership.

Outside of school and family, I enjoy dancing, getting dressed up, going on walks, and spending time in nature. I am a caring, outgoing, and motivated person who is excited to continue growing personally and professionally while working toward my future career.
