About Whitney

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello, my name is Whitney, I am a certified family and consumer science (home economics) teacher with over 8 years of experience in teaching and a lifetime of working with kids of all ages. I love working with children and helping them learn new skills and have fun while we learn. As a teacher, I have taught subjects such as cooking, baking, sewing, nutrition, budgeting, and household management. I can help your children with their homework, prepare healthy meals and snacks, and engage them in creative and educational activities. I can also help with light housekeeping. In addition to my professional experience with kids, I'm the favorite Auntie to my nieces and nephews as well as my friends kids. I love imaginary play and asking questions to stimulate meaningful conversation with kids I interact with. In my spare time I like to crochet, listen to audiobooks, spend time with friends and family, and I recently finished a masters degree in institutional design and technology.

Whitney is absolutely the best caregiver you could ask for! With her educational background she understands the development of early childhood. She knows how to care for so many different ages. She’s incredible at coming up with creative ideas for play, crafts and even making chores fun! She knows how to create structure and boundaries while also allowing kids to be kids. She is so good at noticing when little things just need to get done. I’ve never met anyone who truly goes the extra mile as much as Whitney.
