Same people, every time
You don't get matched with a stranger. You book Becky or Shelly. Your kids know her; she knows them. That's the whole model.
Two names · not a marketplace
Trusted Babysitters in Brooklyn
'Trusted' is a word every babysitting service uses — including Brooklyn Sitters. The difference: we can actually back the word. Not a 40-person marketplace where the trust resets every session. Two real people — Becky and Shelly — serving Brooklyn families for years, with the same names, the same phone number, the same references. You hire us once and then you hire us again because you know who's going to walk in the door. That's what trust means when the stakes are your kids.

Common questions
Trusted Brooklyn Babysitter FAQ.
How do I verify you're actually trustworthy and not just saying it?
Ask for references from families in your neighborhood — we provide them on request. Read the reviews page. Call (347) 592-7903 and talk to us. If the conversation doesn't feel right, don't book. That's also a reasonable test.
Are you background-checked?
No formal third-party background check. We're local, named, referenceable. If you need a certified-background-check-only service, a big agency like Care.com can provide that — trade-off is you're assigned different sitters each time.
Do you have CPR / first-aid training?
No current formal certifications. We're honest about this — worth knowing before you book. For high-medical-risk situations, a certified nanny specialist is the better choice.
How long have Becky and Shelly been babysitting?
8+ years each, mostly in South Brooklyn. We started with the neighborhoods around Bergen Beach and expanded from there. Most of our families come from word of mouth from neighbors.
What happens if the sitter I usually book isn't available?
You get offered the other one. Becky and Shelly work as a pair — your kids will have met both at some point. If neither is available, we tell you straight; we don't sub in strangers.
How do I know my kid is actually safe when I'm gone?
Text your sitter. We respond. Ask for a photo. We send one. Ask for a check-in halfway through a long session — we do it every time. Trust is built one small consistent move at a time, not in the booking form.
