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.

Hello! my name is Kara and i’m from texas! I have experience nannying a kid with autism for a year before i moved here to utah, and experience taking care of my niece and nephew ages 2-4 since they were born. I love kids and do have my own vehicle to be able to take the little ones or teenagers to park/stores/ or any activity you’re okay with me taking them to! I have a dog who loves kids as well and if you’re comfortable, i’d be able to have the kids meet her:) I love cooking and baking and can promise the kids will be well fed and even be able to learn more safety precautions in kitchen and how to cook alongside with me. I love combat sports and overall i have played every sport, and if you’re interested in putting your kids into that in the future i’d love to give them knowledge and help them learn the basics

A little bit about me
Working in child care I’ve worked with all ages from newborn to school age. My favorite part about working in childcare is watching every child hit their milestones. As well as building bonds with every child and parents. It’s important to me to build these bonds with the parents so I can better assist their child in their developments.
