Weekend Babysitters in Brooklyn

Weekends are when Brooklyn parents actually want to leave the house. A Saturday-night dinner that isn't rushed. A Sunday brunch that lasts long enough to actually taste. A long afternoon of errands that somehow always eats six hours. A birthday party at a friend's place across the borough. A full day to just be two adults, not two parents. Brooklyn Sitters covers weekends every week — not as a favor, not as a maybe, but as the biggest chunk of our regular schedule. Becky and Shelly both work Saturdays and Sundays routinely. Saturday nights are our most-booked slot of the week, full stop — the 6 PM-to-midnight window fills first, so book at least a week out if it's a prime Saturday, and two-to-three weeks out for anything in summer or around the holidays. Sunday afternoons are quieter on our side, so same-week availability is usually easy. The hourly rate is the same as any weekday booking — $25/hr for one child, $28/hr for two, +$3/hr per additional. No weekend premium, no holiday surcharge, no 'we had to move our own plans' markup. The travel surcharge is the same too. We take long-block weekend sessions comfortably: four hours for a dinner, six hours for a dinner-plus-event, eight hours for a full Saturday while you handle errands, twelve hours if you're doing something across the city and need day-into-evening coverage. We also do recurring weekend slots — a standing Saturday afternoon every week, a Sunday morning breakfast-and-park rotation — with the same sitter every time. For events that run late, we add late-night coverage up to 3 AM when you flag it at booking. Just tell us the return plan when you confirm and we'll lock in the hours.
