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!”
My name is Sadie. I am currently a Junior at Georgia College and State University. I work at a daycare called Little People’s Corner and it has leveled up my overall expiernce and knowledge of children. I have grown to love working with children of all ages. I have expiernce working with newborns to 6 year olds. I have been working at the daycare for around 3 years now and I babysit in my free time! I would love to help out around the house and help with your kiddos!!
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.
Hi! My name is Nicole Rielly and I am currently a student at UNG and study Biology. I have years of experience working with kids professionally with a daycare background, and I am happy to share references from tons of wonderful families who have welcomed me into their homes! I am comfortable and experienced working with all ages, including newborns, and can handle multiple kids. As a nanny, I’m also experienced in creating and maintaining long-term schedules that work for both the children and their families. I love to create a positive space where children can thrive and have fun. I am reliable, patient, and First Aid/CPR certified! I also have my own reliable car, and am a comfortable, confident driver for any pick ups/activities.
I have over 6 years of experience working with children of all ages and truly enjoy helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe, caring environment. I currently work with Fulton County Schools in the mornings and afternoons, and I also spent two years leading an after-school program for children in Pre-K through 5th grade. My primary experience has been with Pre-K and kindergarten students, where I developed strong skills in patience, communication, and creating engaging activities. I am a caring, dependable, and nurturing person who genuinely loves being around kids. I enjoy building positive relationships with children, supporting their development, and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. Being a caregiver is something I am passionate about, and I take pride in providing families with reliable and compassionate care.
