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.

"Ashley has been watching our two children since 2023, and she has been nothing short of amazing. She consistently goes above and beyond in caring for them and has always been patient, loving, and attentive. She is very punctual, always arriving on time for her shifts, and is always willing to stay later if needed. Her flexibility and reliability have been such a blessing for our family. Ashley is wonderful with children and does a great job keeping up with current educational trends and what is important for kids in today’s world. She follows instructions well, communicates effectively, and creates a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. I highly recommend Ashley to any family looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring. She has made a huge impact on our family, and we are so grateful for everything she has done for us."
