Hello there! My name is Monica Whipple, and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as an experienced and passionate caregiver. With over nine years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of child psychology as a psychology major at the University of Michigan, I bring a unique blend of knowledge and expertise to my role as a caregiver. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of working as a full-time nanny in several households, where I cultivated strong bonds with the children under my care. These experiences have honed my skills in creating a nurturing and engaging environment for kids of various age groups. I genuinely enjoy watching children learn, grow, and discover the world around them. Whether it's taking the family dog for a walk or giving extra attention to a cuddly cat, I am more than happy to provide care for your beloved pets alongside your children. Working Read more at the University's childcare center and being an after school counselor at 2 local elementary schools in the Ann Arbor area has been a significant part of my life these past couple years. These roles have not only deepened my understanding of child development but has also allowed me to build strong connections with children from diverse backgrounds. My commitment to creating a safe and nurturing environment is unwavering, and I approach every childcare opportunity with the utmost responsibility and care. Growing up in a big family has provided me with invaluable insights into the dynamics of sibling relationships, multitasking, and creating a supportive environment for children. I understand the challenges and joys that come with managing a busy household and know how to adapt to the unique needs and preferences of each child. I have a car and am free almost every weekend for the rest of the semester and would love to be able to help you and your family in any way that I can.
