A little bit about me
I've been a HS and College coach for 24 years and just retired from that field. I nannied 3 kids in California that were 9, 11 and 13. I loved it! I was also the Athletic Director at the West Austin Youth Association for 12 years. Just thought it would be fun to make an impact on more children's lives.

A little bit about me
Hi, name is Whitney! I am moving to Austin the first week of October! have been working with littles since 2010 when I got my first assistant infant/toddler teacher job at age 20. Since then, I have been a lead twos teacher, a lead preschool teacher, a nanny to infant twins, and am currently in a role where I support all of the classrooms in a large early childhood center. I grew up in California but moved to Montana as a teenager, and love to spend most of my time outside with the people I love. :) When not playing outdoors, I love to keep my hands dirty with art and ceramics, and am learning to play bass guitar! I’ve had a few professions over the years, but working with children is the only one I’ve been passionate about. Children are just little fountains of joy, and I feel so lucky to get to stand by their sides as they learn and grow, and help them spread their love and creativity as they come into their personalities and into the world! I can’t wait to connect with you. :)

A little bit about me
Hello! ☺️ My name is Ashlee, and I recently relocated to the Austin area after spending nearly ten years working in the news industry as a reporter and anchor. Throughout my career, I’ve built strong communication skills, learned how to connect with people from all walks of life, and developed a calm, dependable personality in fast-paced environments.
As I transition into a new chapter professionally, I’m looking for more meaningful, personal work centered around helping others — especially children and families. I’ve always had a natural love for kids and genuinely enjoy creating a positive, supportive, and engaging environment for them. I’m energetic, patient, responsible, and very people-oriented.
Being new to Austin, I’m excited to become part of the community and would love the opportunity to support a wonderful family in any way I can. I’d be happy to answer any questions or chat more about my background and experience!
