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
( Every now and then I meet a kid that I just won't watch. ) Safety is the first priority. Playing and having fun is pretty important too! Respect for your child, your house and your rules are an absolute. I drive my own Prius and have taken driving defense courses. I was certified as a "Babysitter" when I was 13 through UNLV. Since then I have stayed up to date with all CPR and first aid education. If one of my kids needs to spend time with me I will ask if it's ok that I bring my child with me. Animals are part of the family and I understand that to be very important part of care taking. Homework -Yes I help with that too. Errands, yes I can do that too. Pretty much nothing shocks me and I probably have been there done that for most situations. Also, I'm a pretty good cook.
