Journi Duluth
$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journi — your future favorite sitter! I started working at Today’s Kids of Suwanee when I was 18 and fresh out of high school, and I instantly fell in love with all the babies and tots I got to care for. I’ve worked in the baby room (6 months–1 year), crawlers (1 year), tots (1½–3), and with kiddos all the way up to 10 years old, so I’m comfortable jumping in wherever I’m needed. I may only be 20, but I’m super mature, responsible, and safety-minded. I’m a pharmacy technician during the day and a sitter by night — so your little ones are always in careful, attentive hands. Parents tell me I’m patient, playful, and easy to trust. And if you’ve got pets? Even better! I grew up with dogs and have my own little fur baby, Rico, so I’m great with animals too. I can’t wait to meet your family and help make your days a little easier. Feel free to message me anytime!

Booked by 1 family in North Metro, 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!

Diana 1 review
Atlanta
$14 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in North Metro, 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.
