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
Hi! I'm Lily, a current student at the University of Arizona, and I am looking for a nannying job while I'm home in Connecticut for the summer! I have four years of experience nannying and babysitting children of all ages. I love caring for and spending time with kids more than anything and I am so lucky to have had the experience that has allowed me to know that this is what I love to do. I have my own car and am comfortable driving the children I care for. My biggest priorities when caring for a child are safety, comfort, and communication all around. Other than nannying, my favorite things include cooking, cleaning, dogs, wellness and self-care, my family, and feeling productive! I am looking for a full-time position, but my hours are almost always flexible. Please ask me about my availability, as I would love to talk over a schedule! I can also provide references of previous families I have worked with if requested. Please reach out if you have any questions!
