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 20-year-old college student with a lifelong passion for working with children. As the oldest of five siblings, I began babysitting at just 11 years old, and it quickly became something I truly love.
Today, I work as a substitute teacher and a gymnastics coach for kids ages 3 to 11, giving me hands-on experience with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. I was previously CPR certified and am currently in the process of renewing my certification to ensure your child’s safety always comes first.
What makes time with me fun and meaningful? I love bringing arts and crafts into the day to spark creativity and keep little minds engaged. I’m also a great storybook reader—bringing characters to life and keeping kids captivated is one of my favorite things to do!
Children bring me so much joy, and I always aim to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.

I bring over 5 years of experience caring for children, including babysitting up to four kids at once, where I developed strong multitasking, patience, and structure. I also have experience in elderly care, which deepened my compassion and attentiveness.
I’m a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, so safety and well-being are always my top priorities.
I’m also an animal lover, comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and exotic pets—I even have a chinchilla of my own! I bring warmth, responsibility, and genuine care into every home I enter.
