New Year's Eve Babysitters in Brooklyn
New Year's Eve is the one night every Brooklyn parent wants off — which means sitters book up weeks out. Brooklyn Sitters runs NYE every year. We cover through midnight, past the ball drop, and up to 3 AM on request. You get bedtime handled on your kids' schedule, a sitter who's wide awake when you walk in the door, and a confirmed-ahead rate so there's no awkward conversation at 1 AM. Lock in your slot early — this is the single most-booked night of our year.

Common questions
New Year's Eve FAQ.
How early do I need to book NYE?
Earlier than you think. NYE bookings start filling by mid-November. If you're reading this in December, call today — we'll tell you immediately if we're open.
What's the latest you'll stay on NYE?
Up to 3 AM on request. Let us know your expected return plan when you book and we'll confirm the hours.
Is NYE more expensive?
No surcharge. Same $25/hr for one child, $28/hr for two. We don't run holiday pricing. The bill is the quoted hours times the hourly rate.
Can you do NYE for multiple families?
Becky and Shelly each take one family per night. That means we have two slots total on NYE — first-booked, first-confirmed.
What if our return plan changes?
Text us. We'll stay as long as you need, billed at the same hourly rate. No surprise fees for running over.
Do you handle the countdown — kids staying up, sparkling cider, all that?
If that's the plan, yes. Tell us the traditions you want and we'll follow them exactly. Or we'll have them in bed before you leave — whichever you prefer.
