Hi, my name is Mia and I am 23 years old! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a double minor in Psychology and Microbiology. I am now located in Atlanta to pursue my Master's degree at Emory University! While earning my Bachelor's, I nannied for several lovely families with children 0-4 years old and worked as a caregiver at an assisted living and memory care facility. I am CPR/BLS certified, have reliable transportation, and have many years of experience working with children, young adults, and seniors with physical and developmental disabilities. I love baking, doing crafts, playing games, and fostering a safe space for learning, creativity, and growth. In my personal time I love to go on scenic hikes, volunteer, read, use my sewing machine, and travel with my friends! I look forward to meeting you, and please contact me if you have any questions!

Booked by 8 families in Smyrna, GA

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Kayla Spain, 25 years old. I have recently graduated from Alabama State University, majoring in Biology Pre-health. I have been caring for children since I became an older sister to my younger brother. I became a babysitter on a regular basis and also was there for my younger cousins as well. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I've worked for a daycare at the age of 14- 18 where I prepared meals, developed lesson plans, and also maintained a safe and clean environment. I honestly love working with young kids and I make sure it's my mission to make sure they are keeping a smile on their face.

I've worked with Kayla a few times now, and she has been wonderful each time. She is very reliable and so patient with my little guy. Always punctual and quick to respond, which I really appreciate. I'd gladly work with her again!

Booked by 1 family in Smyrna, GA

Hi there! My name is Megan, and I’ve been a dedicated babysitter and nanny for over 10 years. I absolutely love working with children and believe that helping them feel safe, happy, and engaged is the most rewarding job in the world. For the past four years, I worked with SoHo Sitters — the #1 rated babysitting company in Tampa, Florida where I built lasting relationships with families and cared for children of all ages. Parents describe me as trustworthy, dependable, and intuitive, and I always strive to create a positive, nurturing environment where kids can thrive. I’m a quick thinker and a natural problem solver, which helps me handle any situation calmly and confidently. I love making kids laugh, keeping them entertained without relying on electronics, and coming up with creative activities that make playtime fun and enriching. My personality is bubbly and kind, but I also know how to be firm when needed to maintain a sense of structure and respect. Whether it’s helping with homework, outdoor adventures, or imaginative play, I bring energy, care, and reliability to every family I work with!

I had an outstanding experience using UrbanSitter to find a pet sitter for my two dogs, Althea and Lizzie—but the real star of the show was Megan Galligos. After posting our job, I received several interested applicants, but Megan immediately stood out. Her profile was professional and thorough, and after a great phone interview, I felt confident moving forward. She even took the time to come by beforehand to meet Althea and Lizzie, which gave me extra peace of mind before leaving town. While I was away, Megan went above and beyond. She didn’t just “check the box”—she genuinely spent quality time with my dogs, giving them attention, care, and affection. It was clear they were in great hands, and that meant everything to me. I came home to two very happy pups and couldn’t be more impressed with Megan’s professionalism, communication, and care. I’ve already booked her again, which says it all. I highly recommend Megan Galligos. She’s fantastic!
