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

I’m a dependable and caring person who truly enjoys being around kids. As a wife, bonus mom of five, and grandmother of four, I’ve had years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. Being around kids has always been a big part of my life, and I love creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can learn, play, and feel encouraged.

I’m patient, responsible, and believe in open communication with parents so everyone feels comfortable and confident. I’m also very involved in my community and work closely with youth organizations, including the Fort Myers Police Athletic League. I have been background checked through the Fort Myers Police Department and I am CPR certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid, so safety is always a top priority for me.

My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for while they’re with me.
