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
Back in my hometown of Niceville, Florida, I cared for a wonderful family with two toddlers and a newborn, working with them three times a week for two years until I left for college. That experience really deepened my love for working with kids. I enjoy taking them on little adventures, playing games, and encouraging them in anything active or creative. As a cheerleader and someone who's played several sports, I especially love helping with athletic activities!
I’m also great with pets, very organized, and like to keep things clean and tidy around the house. I’m super flexible on weekdays and would love the opportunity to help out your family this summer!
