Sittercity helps Agoura Hills families find the best babysitters

Hi there! I’m a lifelong kid enthusiast (a.k.a. nanny, teacher, camp counselor, and all-around fun-maker) with over 20 years of experience helping children thrive through creativity, connection, and care. From building epic blanket forts to leading calming yoga sessions, I make every moment with kids meaningful—and a whole lot of fun! For 12 years, I worked as a high school teacher and department chair, where I gained a deep understanding of what kids need to succeed not just academically but emotionally and socially. Over time, I realized that the education system doesn’t always provide the individualized care, attention, and encouragement every child deserves. That’s why I’ve chosen to step outside the system and focus on supporting children in ways that truly meet their unique needs. I have a knack for tuning into what kids are feeling, even when they can’t quite express it themselves. Whether it’s offering a comforting routine, creating a space for self-expression, or finding the perfect balance between structure and spontaneity, I excel at understanding and adapting to what each child needs to thrive. Starting in March, I’ll also be certified as a social and emotional facilitator, allowing me to incorporate mindfulness and emotional growth into everyday activities. I believe in nurturing not just a child’s curiosity but also their sense of confidence, resilience, and self-worth. I’m excited to start full-time nannying in June, but for now, I’d love the chance to babysit and get to know your family better to ensure we’re a great fit. With me, your kids will experience the perfect blend of play, learning, and support. Whether we’re exploring new skills, tackling big feelings, or just enjoying a giggle-filled afternoon, I’m here to help your little ones grow into happy, healthy, and self-assured individuals. Let’s make every day an adventure filled with joy, care, and connection!

I love nurturing the next generation. Teaching them life skills, manners, how to think and grow into fully functioning humans who will be successful in life.

Hi! My name is Taylor. I am one of six kids :) I have many nieces and nephews along with best friends who have little ones :) I am dog mom to a Great Dane and currently work Monday through Friday in HR. I love being active and spending time outdoors. I have a flexible schedule on weekends and nights. Always available for last minute needs as well :)

My experience includes working for Channel Island Social services where I provided childcare for children in foster homes as well as individuals with disabilities. Along with this, I worked with a private family for 6 years on a part time basis until the children were old enough they no longer needed supervision. I have provided care for individuals from ages newborn to 23 years old. Working with children is my passion. I enjoy assisting children with their curiosity while creating a fun, safe, and loving environment for them to thrive. Finding or creating age appropriate games and activities to help children thrive is something I have become to enjoy.

Hi there! My name is Nina , I was born and raised in Malibu California but I've been in NY for the past 4 years finishing up my degree in theater at NYU! I have been taking care of kids of all ages for as long as I can remember. My first job was a summer camp counselor at Wonder Years Preschool. I love to form a special connection with children, play games with them, and develop their interests. My most recent experience with kids was teaching a few french children english 2 times a week. I am interested in working with your specific needs for your children and can adapt my childcare in any scenario. I will note that, I have had my drivers license for 5+ years, I can speak french, cook, clean, and I feel particularly adapted to playing games and entertaining children from my background in theater. I would be more than happy to take care of your children. Please reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns. All the best, Nina
