Brooklyn Sitters
Babysitters in Ditmas Park, Brooklyn
Ditmas Park is one of Brooklyn's most charming neighborhoods — Victorian homes on wide tree-lined streets, a strong coffee-shop culture along Cortelyou Road, and families who treat their block like an extended family. Just a few stops from Prospect Park, it's got the quiet pace of a small town with the energy of Brooklyn close by. Parents here want babysitters who feel like neighbors, not strangers. Becky and Shelly help Ditmas Park families with everything from weekday after-school coverage to weekend date nights on Cortelyou.
A +$10 travel surcharge applies for Ditmas Park.
