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.

I love helping out with homework and doing activities that may stimulate their development in learning and show effort in their studies if asked. I definitely just overall have always naturally been a care giver and take pride in that natural want to help and care that I hold in my heart .💐

A little bit about me
I have over 5 years of hands-on childcare experience, including both family-based care and formal childcare roles. As the oldest of three, I’ve helped raise my younger siblings (now 14 and 10), and I’ve played a central role in caring for my 4 year old cousin since birth.
I’ve worked three summers as a camp counselor at the Boys & Girls Club, supervising and engaging with large groups of children ages 5–12. I led activities, resolved conflicts, encouraged teamwork, and acted as a positive role model every day.
Outside of childcare, I’m a certified nursing assistant (CNA) and a nursing student, which adds to my understanding of safety, hygiene, and developmental needs. I’m also certified in Basic Life Support (BLS), including CPR for infants and children.
While I haven’t worked as a paid nanny or sitter yet, I’m confident, nurturing, and fully capable of keeping children safe, engaged, and cared for
