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
My name is Anna Pawlowski and I’m a warm, caring, and responsible person who genuinely loves being around children. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, seen, listened to, and free to explore the world around them.
My goal is to create a fun and safe environment where children can play, create, be themselves.
Whether that means spending time outdoors, doing arts and crafts, reading, exploring nature, helping with daily routines, or just being present and engaged with them, I love making everyday moments feel meaningful and enjoyable.
