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! I'm Charity. I bring a blend of 'mom-wisdom' and professional experience to childcare. I’ve raised two children of my own (19 and 23) and have 5+ years of experience nannying for children ages 2 to 10.
​I am also a dedicated caregiver for my 76-year-old father who has Giant Cell Arteritis. Because I manage his medical appointments, I am looking for a part-time position. This role has deepened my patience and organizational skills.
​I believe in active, screen-free fun! I love 'discovery walks' at the park, crafting, and baking. I’m passionate about cooking healthy meals and enjoy involving kids in the kitchen.
​I’m a huge animal lover with a St. Bernard/Shepherd and two cats, so I'm very comfortable in pet-friendly homes. I am willing to nanny for children of all ages and look forward to being a reliable partner who helps your family thrive!"

A little bit about me

I have been babysitting for almost as long as I can remember. I am a stay at home mom. My son is 10 and I just need something to do. I love kids they bring me joy. My niece and nephew just moved out of town so I am free anytime. I would like something to do while my son is at work. I was a live in nanny for 2 years. I also watch all my nieces and nephews. I watch all the neighbor kids. They are all mostly in school so now I'm just at home and would love something to do with my free time. She sounds adorable!!

A little bit about me

My name is Amy, I currently work full-time in healthcare as a surgical technologist. I’m looking for a part-time nanny or caregiver position to help supplement my income and do something I truly enjoy caring for children.

Before beginning my healthcare career, I worked in daycares and have years of hands-on experience with children. I’m also a proud mom to a 13-year-old son, so I understand firsthand the importance of finding someone you can trust to care for your child.
I’m CPR and First Aid certified, responsible, dependable, and bring the same calm, attentive care to childcare that I do in the operating room. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where kids can thrive. Whether it’s helping with homework, preparing meals, bedtime routines, or creative play, I’m happy to support your family’s needs and routine.

If you’re looking for a reliable caregiver with both medical training and a genuine love for children, I’d love to connect and see if we’re a good fit!
