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!

I am a Mom of three Boys, who are all in their 20's now. I currently am looking for Part Time Nannying opportunities as I am attending Hybrid School and helping my Mother in the Atlanta area. I am a Caregiver by heart. 💖 I have been a Doula for 20+years and have had the privilege of caring for Newborns thru 90 year olds. I am interactive, love to play and explore, and especially enjoy learning the personality of each child/adult I am caring for. Relationship and trust are important to me and I would want to establish that early in any Caregiving role I am part of. I am CPR trained and can provide References as needed. I am good with all kinds of pets, like to organize, clean and enjoy creating art, food and adventure!!

I’d be a great babysitter because I have extensive hands-on experience with children of all ages and backgrounds. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair caring for three young kids, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, structured environment. I’ve also worked with children with special needs, including nannying for a boy with unique care requirements, and I spent a summer working at a daycare supporting multiple age groups. Along with over five years of consistent babysitting experience, I currently work at a med spa and am finishing school online, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and multitasking skills. I’m reliable, caring, and confident in providing a safe and positive experience for any family.
