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

Hey there! I’m Hannah, and I'm 20 years old. I grew up in small town Woodward, Oklahoma and moved here just this year. I spent a large amount of my time from the age of 13 and all through high school babysitting for family, to family friends and then to friends and I just enjoyed every second getting to spend my time with kids. I absolutely adore children and would love to be there to help out any parents or guardians needing help watching their little ones. I love putting on cartoons and doing fun little activities, from blanket forts to doing fun learning activities. I’m willing to help with light household cleaning and even pet care if needed. Im all down to help you out at whatever hours whether it’s daytime or nighttime. I just hope to be able to be a helping hand to a family needing it.
