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 worked with kids, and fostered a couple over the course of 5 years.
I’ve been taking care of kids since I was a teenager.
I can keep up with ANY age range, I can cook exceptionally well and clean exceptionally well. Not allergic to any animals but cats disturb my allergies but there’s nothing that allergy medicine can’t fix!
Your children would be in great hands. Safe, well taken care of and we will have fun.
