Hi, my name is Whitney! I am from Green Bay, WI. I have 12 years of experience working with and caring for children of all ages. I also have experience caring for children with autism. I received my Bachelors degree in both Psychology and Family Studies from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, MN. I then took a gap year where I nannied full time, working for multiple families, as well as interned with CASA (court appointed special advocates) for abused and neglected children. I have recently completed my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northwestern University, and decided to stay in Evanston. I have always loved children and have a strong passion for making a positive impact on their lives. I have babysat and nannied for many different families over the years, and have a great list of references that I would be more than happy Read more to provide. I also would like to note that I am fully vaccinated. I'm hoping to find a few more families in the area that are in need of occasional babysitting. I look forward to connecting with you :)

Whitney has been great to work with. She’s very responsive and was so easy to coordinate a meet and greet with prior to sitting our son. We’re excited to have her over again soon.
