Saturday night · Brooklyn
The most-asked-for night of our week.
Saturday is the single hardest night to get. Every Brooklyn family has the same idea you do — and our two-sitter calendar fills first and fills fastest right here.
Saturday calendar reality
Two sitters. Four hours. Twenty families wanting them.
We're not a marketplace where the next sitter slides in when Becky's booked. There's Becky and there's Shelly, and on a Saturday night that math runs out fast — usually by Wednesday for that week, sometimes earlier in the holiday months.
If you're thinking about a Saturday: don't wait until Friday morning to lock it. Wednesday is the latest move that still works most weeks. Earlier is better.
The smart move if Saturday is your night
Take a recurring Saturday slot.
The families who get Saturdays consistently are the ones with a standing weekly slot — same time every Saturday, locked on the calendar, same sitter every visit. No scramble, no Wednesday-night texting to see if we're open.
It also costs the same. We don't charge a recurring premium — you get the standard hourly rate, with a sitter who already knows your kids' bedtime routine by the third week. Most of our Saturday calendar runs this way.

What a typical Saturday looks like
Most Saturday-night blocks run 6 or 7pm to 11pm. The sitter shows up around 6:30, you finish getting ready, the kids get the someone-they-know-is-here moment before you walk out the door.
Dinner, bath, story, lights out. By the time you're back from your reservation, the house is quiet. Pay at the door. Same sitter next Saturday if you want her.
