Brooklyn Sitters
Babysitters in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn
Bay Ridge is Brooklyn's tree-lined, waterfront neighborhood at the southwestern edge of the borough — views of the Verrazzano Bridge from the Shore Road promenade, a strong Italian, Middle Eastern, and Irish community, and some of the most family-friendly blocks in the city. Parents here want sitters who show up on time, respect the household, and actually engage with the kids. Becky and Shelly make the trip to Bay Ridge because the families are worth it and the kids are a joy.
