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
I’ve been a dancer for about 18 years now, I’ve cared and watched for children of many ages and I’ve always loved being around them! I have a huge passion for art like drawing, painting, and crafts. I also love to read, journal, and go on adventures outside like hiking and going on walking trails. I am a big caregiver and I love to help others that are in any kind of need that I can provide in. I’ve always been one to take on hard tasks while also learning to multitask, be patient, and push my limits.

A little bit about me
What makes me a great caregiver for one is that I am in my second year of early childhood education and I am teaching preschool students hands-on lessons to grow them in every way possible, not only that, but my biggest aspiration in life is to become a mother l'm excited to give my children everything that I was never able to have. I am naturally a selfless and nurturing person and your child will feel the love and care that comes when I babysit. Not only that, but I can follow a schedule effectively and keep a consistent routine, especially with meals, naps, playtime, and homework (if any). I'm organized and responsible and would be a great fit for any family.
