What drives the price

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 have over 8 years of babysitting experience working with children of all ages. I also work with children with autism every day, which has helped me develop strong patience and communication skills. I am caring, dependable, and enjoy helping children learn and grow. I strive to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment for every child. I enjoy engaging children in activities such as games, reading, crafts, and outdoor play. I am comfortable helping with meals, bedtime routines, and keeping children on schedule. Working closely with children has taught me how to be flexible and understanding of each child’s unique needs. My goal is to make children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.
