My name is Maria and I am a mother of two girls, ages 11 and 9. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I taught 3rd and 4th grade for 14 years in Miami. I am a certified teacher in the state of Georgia and have been subbing for 5 years for Cobb County Schools. I come from a large family and have always loved helping take care of the little ones. I love to play with my kids, do arts and crafts, read books, and outdoor fun! I am comfortable caring for seniors that need some extra assistance at home or in getting around to the store or appointments.
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 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.
Hi, my name is Latoya. I just moved to Georgia. I love kids and that's why after doing 6 years of administration work I decided to change my career. After returning from China, I went back to school to pursue a degree in Childhood Education, which I completed a few years ago. In addition, I substitute taught for more than 5 years. This experience gave me the opportunity to work with a wide range of children. I really enjoyed it. On a personal note, I am very adventures. I love to travel, write, teach, and wortout. I am determine, fun, dedicated, hard working, and very loving. Overall, I wouldn't want nothing more than to continue working with children.
