Nannies with 10+ years, or specialty skills like newborn care or multiple languages, typically command the highest hourly rates.

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.

"I am happy to recommend Miss Jackie as a babysitter or nanny. We first met Jackie when she was a swim instructor for our daughter. They had an instant connection and we began having her babysit for us during both daytime and weekend evening hours.
Jackie is reliable, responsible, and wonderful with my kids (ages 6 & 9 now). One of the things we appreciate most is how engaged she is. She is always keeping them busy with fun crafts, games, and activities rather than simply supervising them. She often even brings her own supplies and creative ideas, which the kids absolutely love.
Our kids are always excited when Miss Jackie comes over, and we have complete confidence in her ability to care for them safely and thoughtfully. She is kind, energetic, and genuinely enjoys spending time with my kids.
I would highly recommend Jackie to any family looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and engaging babysitter or nanny."

A little bit about me
Hi parents! 😆 With summer coming up, I wanted to introduce myself in case anyone is looking for a nanny!
My name is Anna Cuevas, and I am an undergraduate student at Ohio University majoring in Psychology. I graduated from North Olmsted High School, as well as Polaris Career Center, where I completed the dental program.
I am currently looking for families in the Cleveland or Athens area, and I’m also open to opportunities in nearby cities, including Columbus. I have experience working as both a part-time babysitter and a full-time nanny. Over the past few years, I’ve worked with children ranging from ages 2–12.
I’m comfortable managing full-day routines, transportation, educational activities, and keeping kids engaged, active, and supported throughout the day. I also have experience with neurodivergent children, as I grew up in a family where neurodivergence is present, which has given me an understanding and adaptability when working with different needs and personalities.
