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! My name is Makena, and I’d love to be considered as your nanny 😊
I’m 22 years old and have about 7 years of experience in childcare and homeschooling. I spent around 4 years working as a head toddler teacher (ages 18 months–3 years) in a childcare center, and then transitioned into more personalized care through nannying and homeschooling.
I’ve also had the opportunity to teach English abroad in Costa Rica and Chile, which gave me great experience working with children from different backgrounds. Most recently, I was nannying for a family from Costa Rica here in Fremont before they moved away.
I’m CPR/First Aid certified, have my own reliable transportation, and can provide many references. I truly love working with kids and creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for them to grow and learn.
