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 certified childcare provider and am pursuing my Early Childhood Development certificate at Lane Community College online. I have experience in various settings providing hands on care for children including my most recent role as a preschool teacher. I’ve developed a strong foundation in nurturing, educating, and supporting young children through key stages of development. I’m excited to bring the creativity, structure, and joy I value, to any child. My daily routine typically includes a balance of crafts, active play, early learning activities, and supervised free play, this to support each child’s social, emotional, and cognitive growth. To me, the most important part of working with children is helping them grow in healthy, meaningful ways that positively impact them for life. I approach each day with a deep respect for the individual needs of every child in my care. I would love the opportunity to learn more about your needs and how I might support them!
