Brooklyn Sitters
Babysitters in Park Slope, Brooklyn
Park Slope is one of Brooklyn's most beloved family neighborhoods — tree-lined brownstone blocks, Prospect Park at the doorstep, and some of the best restaurants in the city. Parents here care deeply about who looks after their kids, and they want sitters who are experienced, warm, and actually engaged. Becky and Shelly make the trip up to Park Slope because the families are wonderful, and we bring the same thoughtful, hands-on care that South Brooklyn parents have trusted for years.
A +$20 travel surcharge applies for Park Slope.
