Vanessa Whitney

Vanessa Whitney is a puppeteer, actress, and nanny who is a former performer of Henson's improv show Puppet Up from 2010-2023. That was the only known Henson production in which she puppeteered on while other performances were seen in YouTube videos (now deleted presumably). Vanessa got to meet other puppeteers while on Puppet Up, such as Grant Baciocco, Kathryn Molloy, Ben Schrader, Colleen Smith, and Raymond Carr, to name a few. Prior to doing Puppet Up, Whitney was an entertainer at The Walt Disney Company for one year and a special effects host at Universal Studios for eight years. All of that information came from her LinkedIn profile as seen online. It's a shame she never did any projects by the Henson Company besides that improv show, because then she would have met more performers and maybe meet more legends than ever before. Vanessa Whitney may not have done other productions besides Puppet Up, but at least she remained with them until deciding to leave. Since 2023, she is now a self-employed nanny, making her the first puppeteer to do so, I think. But she still puppeteers as seen in some YouTube videos, as mentioned above, but it's currently unknown which ones she did. Thankfully, Vanessa has her own YouTube channel where people can watch her work and be amazed by how well she can handle housework as well as children. But I hope Whitney does still puppeteer often from time to time, that is, whenever she has the free time to do so of course. In the meantime, she should continue to be a nanny for kids, after all, families are important and sometimes the parents need someone to look after the kids when they're both out. She's probably the only puppeteer to be a nanny. Vanessa Whitney, you've done wonderful on Puppet Up as well as some YouTube videos (that are yet to be found). But do not forget those performance skills whenever you're doing your other job. Show business must never be forgotten whether you're a nanny or something else. Sweet nannying Vanessa. You got this Whitney!
