We come to your rental
Airbnb, hotel, friend's guest room — wherever you're staying. Bring your booking confirmation and we handle the rest.
For families visiting Brooklyn
Brooklyn's a lot more fun without a toddler melting down in a stroller at 9 PM. If you're visiting — weekend trip, wedding in the family, a week in an Airbnb — Brooklyn Sitters covers families who aren't locals. We come to your rental, run the kids' evening while you get a real dinner at Lilia or a real walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, and we're there when you get back. Same hourly rate as locals. We'll also point you at the kid-friendly Brooklyn stuff for the next day, if you ask.
Why us
Airbnb, hotel, friend's guest room — wherever you're staying. Bring your booking confirmation and we handle the rest.
Ask and we'll share which playgrounds, bagel spots, and museums are worth the trip tomorrow. Local advice from people who live here.
Same $25/hr for one child, $28/hr for two. No visitor markup. The travel surcharge depends on the neighborhood — we'll quote it up front.

Common questions
Same way as anyone else. Use the booking form — put the Airbnb address in the notes and the neighborhood in the area field. We'll confirm and coordinate meeting you at check-in if needed.
We cover South Brooklyn, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Heights with standard pricing. Other Brooklyn neighborhoods are case-by-case — ask and we'll tell you straight.
Yes — it's the right play for out-of-town families. We'll come 15–20 minutes early, meet the kids while you're still there, and transition smoothly.
Most Airbnbs have a basic crib. For stroller rentals or additional gear, we can point you at NYC baby-gear rental services. We don't bring gear ourselves.
Absolutely. Tell us the ages and we'll list three or four spots worth the trip. Real recommendations, not tourist trap stuff.
Yes, and we encourage it — same sitter each night is easier on the kids. Lock in the nights when you book so we can block them out.
