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 a 37-year-old Deaf mom and an aspiring nanny. While I’m new to professional nannying, I have 11 years of hands-on parenting experience raising my two sons, who are now 11 and 6.
I especially love caring for babies and helping them learn, grow, and communicate. As a Deaf person, I enjoy teaching babies simple signs before they can speak, giving them an early way to express their needs and feelings.
I’m loving, patient, easygoing, attentive, and dependable. I’m working toward my CPR and First Aid certification and will use a baby-cry alert with a flashing-light signal to help me respond quickly.

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Lilly, I’m 18 years old and a high school senior graduating this May. I attend school Monday through Friday and am available on weekends. I don’t have my driver’s license yet, but my parents can help with transportation when needed. I love working with kids and babies it never feels like work to me. I come from a big family with five siblings and often babysit for my mom’s friends. I also help care for my abuela regularly. Being around and helping others makes me happy. I’m patient, caring, and responsible. Money is tight for my family, so having a job is very important to me. I’m motivated to work hard, support myself, and save. If there’s ever an emergency during school, I’m willing to help with childcare. I plan to become a teacher and earn my master’s degree. For now, I’m focused on gaining experience, working, and saving for college and my own car. I’m passionate about caregiving and would love the opportunity to help care for your family.
