Farzana 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dacula, GA

Hi there! I’m a college senior with a love for science and an even bigger love for imaginative play. I’ve spent years working with kids, and my favorite part of the job is seeing them discover new things about the world. Because I study Neuroscience, I’m fascinated by how kids think and learn, which makes me a very patient and attentive caregiver. Kids usually gravitate toward my high energy and "yes, and" attitude during playtime! Parents describe me as highly reliable and someone they can trust implicitly with their household. I'm also happy to help with light meal prep, pet care, or homework help (especially science!). I’m excited to bring a mix of safety, fun, and a little bit of wonder to your family!

“Farzana was very professional and communicated she is willing to help with some simple errands and visitations. I plan on booking her for my senior parents.”

Noelle $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Noelle and I am set to graduate with a Bachelor's of Science in Education from Georgia State University this summer! I have over 7 years of experience working with children of ages ranging from 4-12 years old in multiple different settings including classroom teaching, tutoring, camp counseling, and babysitting. In these roles I have taken on many responsibilities such as planning fun (and screen-free) activities, homework help, and transporting kids to and from their activities. These roles have also required that I receive training in first-aid and CPR. I am additionally an animal lover that is more than willing to help out with pets!

Booked by 1 family in Dacula, 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!”

Booked by 4 families in Dacula, GA

Hello! I am a Physician Assistant student looking for babysitting opportunities. I have raised both my younger siblings, so I have lots of experience working with kids. I have also gotten additional experience working with kids when I used to work as a nurse. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was babysitting two kids for 3 years. I am also CPR certified in case of any emergencies. I know how important it is to be patient and warm with kids and would take care of your kids like my own sibling. I look forward to helping out with your kids!

“Mahek was great! She was very responsible and wonderful with my son. She was prompt and responsive. I definitely ask her to babysit again.”

Diana 1 review
$14 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Dacula, GA

I have always had a natural connection with children, shaped by years of helping raise my nieces and nephews and being an active, caring presence in their lives. Growing up, I developed a strong sense of patience, understanding that every child learns and grows at their own pace. In addition to working with children, I have also cared for my elderly mother-in-law who had dementia, as well as my aging parents, which has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and deep level of patience. My background in customer service has further enhanced my communication skills, empathy, and ability to remain calm and positive in all situations—qualities that translate naturally into caregiving. I genuinely enjoy creating a supportive and nurturing environment where others feel safe, heard, and valued. Outside of work, I love gardening, enjoy hiking, and traveling, as these hobbies allow me to stay active, appreciate nature, and experience new cultures and perspectives that I can bring into my interactions with others.

“Diana was amazing. She had the perfect approach and demeanor to match my 4 year old's personality. She was calm, proactive and a natural with him. He was already asking about when she could come back and play. I'm always nervous with new sitters but I'm very grateful I found her.”
