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
Hello, nice to meet you and I would like to tell you a little about myself. I am from Venezuela, I am 27 years old and I have a beautiful 6-year-old daughter.
I already have my papers in order but it has been difficult for me to get a job because of my language, for me it is not limiting but I am studying for it, I have experience taking care of children for 7 years in my country, I cook very well since being a chef was also my I work, and I like music and learning with each child I take care of. I know that it is difficult to leave your children in the hands of another person but I invite you to get to know me and give me a little of that trust so that I can help you.

A little bit about me
Hi there! My name is Jenna, I am 22 and have my CDA and am finishing up my associates in early childhood education that covid put a pause on. I have been in various childcare settings such as daycares, after school programs, nannying and babysitting for a total of just about 5 years. I am ASL fluent, CPR, first aid and water safety certified along with having plenty of experience lesson planning and incorporating fun into learning.
I have a passion for teaching younger kiddos how to human: regulating their bodies and their emotions, learning boundaries and social skills. I believe children learn through play based learning and having fun is a big part of the job!
With me as a nanny, you can count on me to be reliable and responsible, communicate with both kiddo(s) and parent(s) well, teach and have a blast as I genuinely love and believe that I was meant to teach, grow, inspire and love.
I can also provide light housework, cooking and meal prep, pickups/drop offs and running errands.
