One sitter per twin
Becky takes one, Shelly takes the other. Real undivided attention for each kid — which with twins is surprisingly rare.

Twins Babysitters in Brooklyn
Twins don't take turns needing things. Brooklyn Sitters books both Becky and Shelly for twin households — one sitter per twin, actually paying attention to each kid instead of splitting focus. Feedings happen in parallel. Bedtime happens in parallel. Nobody's getting the short end of the hour because a sibling's wailing across the room. This is the one case where the two-sitter setup is the point, not just the backup plan. Tell us the twins' ages and any differences in routine — we'll plan the session accordingly.

Why us
Why Brooklyn parents choose us for twins.
Parallel routines
Feeding, bath, nap, bedtime — we run them side by side. Whatever works for your household at full-parent capacity, we match it.
Coordinated, not duplicated
One sitter handles meals while the other does bath, then we swap. You come home to kids asleep, dishes done, and no stories of one twin who 'got less attention tonight.'

Common questions
Twins FAQ.
How much does a babysitter for twins cost?
Two-sitter bookings run at $25/hr per sitter = $50/hr total. It's more than a single-sitter visit, but parents with twins usually tell us it's the first evening out that actually felt like an evening out.
Can one sitter handle twins alone?
Sometimes, if the twins are older and easy. We'll tell you honestly when we meet the kids. For infants, toddlers, or anyone with a bedtime that could go sideways, two sitters is the real answer.
Do you do twin-only sessions, or do you take other kids too?
We can cover additional siblings on a twin booking — talk to us. Most twin households we visit are twin-only, though. More than two kids changes the staffing math.
What if one twin naps and the other doesn't?
Each sitter stays with their twin. The non-napper gets quiet play, the napper gets monitored, no disruption. It's the whole reason we send two.
Are Becky and Shelly trained for multiples?
We've done it enough that we know the rhythm. We're not a twin-specialist agency, but the two-sitter model is genuinely the right shape for twin bookings and that's what we bring.
Can you help with a twin household that also has a newborn?
Reach out and we'll talk through it. Three little kids is a lot even with two sitters — we'll tell you what's realistic and what needs more help than we can provide.
