I cannot recommend Whitney enough! I posed a last minute job for on Mother's Day and Whitney answered the call without hesitation! She met me at the jail and took my two girls on a downtown adventure while I was doing my lawyer thing. When I got detained longer than expected at the jail for the client, she took it in stride and adjusted. She struck me as honest, playful, responsible, and professional. I will absolutely be calling her again next time I am in downtown Chicago. Whitney T and B cannot wait to play again! :) - Glowie
