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 Julia. I am a 31 year old aunt to four children between the ages of 1 and 5. I've been a nanny to a 4year old child with special needs and was a lifeguard at a popular theme park for over a year. I have hands-on experience caring for young children and understand the patience, attentiveness, and consistency they need at this stage of life. I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping with daily routines, keeping them engaged with activities, and being someone they can feel comfortable and safe around. I’m dependable, caring, and responsible, and I would love the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for a family.

"April provided in home care for our son for almost two years (3 months - 22- months old).
April was reliable, affectionate, and dedicated to caring for our son. She was always on top of changing diapers, providing nourishment, baths, and frequent feedback on his feeding, sleeping and wellness. She spent time doing crafts and active play time with him and will take him on walks and to the playground. I never had to worry about his well-being while she was with him.
April also helped us significantly around the house by washing bottles, doing laundry, helping us place and pick up grocery orders, prepare meals, pack our son’s items for trips, and tidying up.
We feel fortunate to have had April as our nanny. She was respectful of our parenting philosophies while being confident enough to independently make day-to-day decisions. I am confident she would be a helpful and positive addition to any family she worked for."
