Experience: 10 yrs
Hello families! My name is Whitney, more commonly known as the "babysitter extraordinaire" (self proclaimed ;)!!!!). I have my own car and am able to travel. I have been working in early education as a preschool teacher for almost 10 years. Naturally, with so much clientele from my classrooms it was simple to make the transition from full-time teacher to full time nanny. 5 years ago I resigned as an infant/toddler teacher in Torrance part time in the mornings and as an after-school program leader in the afternoon for a school district so I could pursue household management/nanny full time. That being said, I have tons of experience under my belt with a wide variety of ages and backgrounds. I have worked professionally in the childcare industry at a corporate level for 8 years and I have not looked back since. I could not have picked a better career and working daily with children has had such a refining effect on my attitude towards life. I started nannying part time for many of the families at the schools I was employed at and have since gained many STELLAR references available upon request, from both the families and supervisors I have worked with in the past. I am CPR and First Aid certified and working in preschools I have become skilled in the art of working for moms of all sorts of personalities (and you know how picky you "first time moms" can be... hehe) BUT, I always mesh well with the dear moms I work for. I'm a trooper and I love to make my moms happy. I have great relationships with every family I have worked for because I'm professional and experienced, but most of all I love what I do. I'm excited to hear from you all!

I am so extremely delighted with and thankful for Whitney! I've interviewed and hired countless babysitters and Whitney is a rare find. She understands how to lovingly lead children, and she confidently, JOYFULLY cares for my three small children through the CRAZY evening hours. She is wonderful with the kids, and pretty much knows what I need without me saying it. I look forward to her being with us; she is a super nanny, perfect helper, and friend.
