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! My name is Aria , and I have been working with children in professional and informal settings for 6 years. I have a deep love and respect for children. I love the way their minds work, they teach me so much.

I am a student at the University of Utah, pursuing a BFA in Modern Dance and a B.S. in Psychology, with an additional certificate in Infant/EC Mental Health. I teach ballet and I love to do crafts!

My mission as a caregiver is to lead with compassion while also setting clear boundaries for behavior. I value and implement developmentally appropriate measures for managing behavior. I want the kids I work with to become the best versions of themselves, while also respecting their journey and emotions as they navigate life. My priority is to build real trust with children, helping them to feel safe and loved. This foundation of trust is where all of the growing and learning required can be built on.
