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 Jade, a mom of two wonderful kids, ages 4 and 2, living in the Flowery Branch area. While my professional background is in the restaurant industry, being a mom has given me over four years of hands-on experience caring for little ones through the infant, toddler, and preschool stages.
I’m patient, dependable, energetic, and comfortable juggling the busy moments that come with caring for multiple children. I enjoy getting kids outside, playing, doing crafts and activities, and creating a fun environment while keeping safety and routines a priority.
I currently bartend and am looking for part-time childcare opportunities to supplement my schedule. Ideally, I’d love to connect with a family who is comfortable with my two children accompanying me, giving the kids an opportunity to play and socialize together.
I’d love to find a family nearby that I can build a comfortable, trusting, and dependable relationship with!

A little bit about me
A fun and silly childcare professional that also knows when to serious when it comes to safety. I pride myself on the three "Fs": Fun, Fair, and Follow-through. I'm always fun because it keeps the children engaged, I'm always fair because it teaches children fairness -- sharing, waiting our turn, "nice hands/calm hands" ("we don't hit others because we don't want others to hit us"), and follow-through. Because I have respect for the children in my care and I want them to have respect for me as well. If I say I'm going to do something then I follow-through on that promise. It also helps with managing behaviors, because, "if you don't listen to me, then why should I listen to you?"
