Meet Whitney
- Speaks English
- Comfortable with pets
For as long as I can remember, providing childcare has been second nature for me. I started babysitting at age 15 with a family that I stuck with until I was 22. I then took a full-time nannying job for a family and their 7 month old, whom I cared for until he was 2 years old. I also come from a large family where I helped to raise my 6 nieces and nephews for several years, in addition to my 3 year old son. I also have a decade of experience in teaching kids ballet, so I am quite comfortable in an environment that requires gentle correction and positive problem solving skills. At this time that I am working on my psychology degree, offering my childcare ability to a family in need is a perfect fit for my life.
