Hi, I'm Julyana! I'm a 26-year-old babysitter from Brooklyn, NY, with a strong Caribbean family background that taught me the value of care and responsibility from a young age. I’ve been the “mom” of my big family since I was 12, and caring for others quickly became second nature. My love language is quality time and acts of service—two things I bring into every childcare experience. At 15, I discovered my passion while interning as a teacher’s aide at a daycare, and I’ve been nurturing, teaching, and engaging with children ever since. I’m creative, energetic, and love activities like arts & crafts, board games, video games, and outdoor play. I’m happy to help with meal prep, light housekeeping, laundry, homework, and more. I’m also pet-friendly—I have a cat myself and am comfortable around dogs and cats alike. If you'd like references or want to connect via phone, text, or email, I’d love to chat! Looking forward to hearing from you, and best of luck in your search!

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
