Weekends · Brooklyn
The whole weekend, not just Saturday at 7.
Most agencies act like "weekend sitter" means one specific evening. The actual Brooklyn weekend has six bookable blocks across two days — and the daytime ones almost no one competes for.
The six weekend blocks
Saturday morning to Sunday night.
Saturday
AM
Saturday morning
Errand block. Sitter at 9, you have until lunch. Grocery, gym, the appointment that's only open weekdays-and-Saturday.
Saturday
PM
Saturday afternoon
The block parents underbook. Lunch out, a long walk, the museum that's impossible with the kids.
Saturday
Night
Saturday night
The most-asked-for slot we have. Lock it Wednesday at the latest.

AM
Sunday brunch
11 to 2. Brunch without booster seats. The most underrated booking on our calendar.
Sunday
PM
Sunday afternoon
Naps and a long quiet stretch. Easier to grab than weeknights.
Sunday
Night
Sunday evening
Quiet bookings — the dinner-and-home-by-9 shape. Almost always available.
Lead time, by block
Saturday night: Wednesday at the latest. Earlier in May, June, September, December.
Saturday day / Sunday brunch: 48 hours usually plenty. These slots are underbooked.
Sunday night: Often same-day works. Quietest weekend block.
