Tips to find a great babysitter without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best babysitters on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced babysitters 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 babysitters 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
Hello, my name is Stephanie, I am 28 years old and I am Venezuelan, I have a degree in social communication and in my country I also had the opportunity to work for a while in a preschool. I speak Spanish and understand English and I also speak a little. I love children and their happiness and safety is always my priority. I have a little 18-month-old toddler girl that I love with all my heart and what I want most is to work on something I like and be able to spend more time with my little girl. I have a 2-year-old nephew and I have taken care of him since he was born, so taking care of two children is easy for me. If you make me part of the lives of your little ones, you will not regret it, thank you for reading this.

Hi! My name is Taylor Nyla Sullivan. I’m a responsible and caring high school student with a strong passion for working with kids. I’ve had experience babysitting for family, friends, and through my school-based business. I always make sure children feel safe, heard, and engaged whether we’re playing games, doing crafts, or following a routine you’ve set. I’m reliable, organized, and I take pride in making sure kids are not only taken care of, but truly cared for.
I’m also CPR/First Aid aware, and I’m happy to help with things like light cleaning, meal prep, or homework help if needed. I’m excited to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit for what you’re looking for!
