Babysitter Available in Brooklyn, NY: Barbara “Basia” S.

"We chose Basia because she came highly recommended, and because she’s great with animals, and was willing to walk our rambunctious dog (it’s worth noting she owns cats and dogs and is not allergic). Basia took our kids to parks, museums, playgrounds, and the beach - which was particularly useful during school breaks and holidays! Our older son even stayed overnight with Basia, when we were at the hospital when his brother was born. Basia found other ways to make our lives easier: cleaning, cooking for the kids, doing the dishes and handling the kids’ laundry so we would have less housekeeping to do. She is good at sorting kid’s clothes and organizing them, and making sure the kids always have season-appropriate shoes and coats that fit. Finally, and maybe most importantly: Basia is not just an excellent nanny, but also an excellent person. She is hugely compassionate, intelligent and has a great sense of humor. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us. :)"
