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'd describe my personality as caring, compassionate, and strong willed.
I started working with kids when my first niece was born. I was 11 at the time and she's lived with us since, I grew up caring for her, as well as my second niece, and I have the same passion towards other children.
In my spare time, I like to crochet! I crochet and I play some instruments and collect hockey cards :)
My skills include activity planning, helping with developing communication, and developing motor skills!
