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 Maddi. I have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from as young as 2 months old to 12 years, both here in Florida and Utah, as well as abroad in Germany. For the past two years, I’ve been working with two families. One family is transitioning to having a housekeeper take over some of my hours, so I’m looking to fill those hours and transition to a new family. I also have letters of recommendation available.
Caring for children is truly my passion. I bring patience, kindness, and creative energy into everything I do, ensuring that every child feels supported, safe, and engaged. I’m ask open to one time or date night baby sitting!
Please feel free to check out my profile, and let me know if you’d be interested in scheduling an online or in-person interview. Thank you so much for your time. I hope all is well with you!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Ethan, a 22-year-old UCF student and aspiring pediatric dentist with several years of experience working with children and pets. Before moving to Orlando, I babysat in my hometown of Vero Beach for about 1–2 years, caring for a 3-year-old and a 7-year-old, helping with routines, meals, homework, and fun activities. I’m First Aid certified, responsible, patient, and calm under pressure. I also have experience mentoring high school students through my church youth group, which strengthened my ability to guide, support, and communicate with kids of different ages. Families can count on me to be dependable, caring, and focused on creating a safe, positive environment for their children or pets.
