Brooklyn Sitters
Date Night Babysitters in Brooklyn
Date night is one of the most-booked reasons Brooklyn parents call Brooklyn Sitters. Whether it's a Friday dinner at a favorite restaurant, a birthday celebration, or just a long-overdue break from the house, we show up ready — on time, with activities planned, homework handled, and bedtime routines respected. Becky and Shelly have done hundreds of date-night sessions across Brooklyn. Parents come home to kids asleep, dishes done, and the kind of peace of mind that makes the next date night easy to book.

No rotating staff. You book Becky or Shelly, and that's who shows up. Your kids know her face, her voice, and her rules.
Bedtime is handled
Whether your kid's routine takes 20 minutes or an hour, we know it matters. We follow your playbook so you come home to a sleeping house.

Date Nights Babysitting FAQ
How far in advance should I book a date-night babysitter?
We recommend booking at least 24–48 hours ahead for date-night sessions, especially on weekends. For big occasions like anniversaries or birthdays, a week or two out is ideal. We'll always try to accommodate last-minute requests if the calendar allows.
What's the rate for date-night babysitting?
Our standard rate is $25/hr for one child, $28/hr for two, and +$3/hr for each additional child. A small travel surcharge applies for some neighborhoods (check your area page for the exact amount). The same rate applies whether it's a date night, an after-school session, or a weekend.
What time do date-night sessions usually end?
Most date-night sessions end between 10 PM and midnight. If your night runs later than expected, just text us — we'll stay as long as you need and bill the extra time at the same hourly rate.
Will you handle bedtime while we're out?
Absolutely. Bedtime is part of every date-night session. Share your usual routine when you book — stories, songs, lights-out time — and we'll follow it exactly. Most kids are asleep before you're at dessert.
What if we get home later than expected?
Life happens. Just send a quick text and we'll stay. We bill the extra time at the standard hourly rate with no surprise surcharges or late fees.
Do you pick up from restaurants or cover other boroughs?
Our sessions are in-home, so we stay with the kids while you're out anywhere. We don't currently cover bookings in Manhattan or Queens, but we serve most of Brooklyn — including Park Slope, Williamsburg, and Brooklyn Heights with a small travel surcharge.
