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
taking care of and working with children. I worked at a daycare and I have experience in the early childhood classes at my high school. I am enrolled in early childhood level two with a total of two going on three years of unpaid childcare training and less than one year of Paid childcare training (when I worked at a daycare.) I am 16 years old and I have my 40 hours in DCF and I am working to maintain my CPR and first aid certifications. I am the oldest out of three younger siblings, one is twelve, one is five, and one is three years old and I have a lot of experience with them as well. I am going into 11th grade at Middleburg high school and I am able to drive myself to the designated location because I have my drivers license. Thank you!
