Tips to find a great child care provider without overpaying
- Be flexible on experience. Some of the best child care on the platform have 3–5 years on the job and charge meaningfully less than experienced child care 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 child care 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
I’m a senior psychology major at Widener University, a proud member of my sorority, and an avid reader. I’ve always loved working with children, which is part of what led me to study psychology and pursue a career that supports child development.
I’ve been babysitting here and there for about a year, primarily for family and family friends, and I’ve cared for kids of all ages. I also have experience working with children with special needs and currently work in the ABA therapy field.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and love creating a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for every child I care for. Whether we’re reading, playing games, or just getting through a bedtime routine, I’m committed to making sure your little ones are well cared for and comfortable.
I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

I'm CPR- and First Aid-certified, and I follow parents' preferred communication methods, whether that's written daily reports or verbal communication at pickup. I follow the parents' lead in terms of household rules.
Ilove playing outdoor sports and physical games with children, as well as educational games that promote learning. I'm comfortable caring for up to two children, ano I'm experienced with all age groups. I have a car, I don't smoke, and I'm comfortable with pets.
I'm excited to meet your family and help your children learn and grow!
