About Linda

Experience: 5 yrs

I am the mother of 5 grown children. They have been my life's work and greatest joy. I home schooled them from preschool through 8th grade. This included tutoring my youngest who has severe dyslexia. Raising 3 sons and 2 daughters I have dealt with different personalities and have learned each one is precious and unique. When my youngest entered high school I decided it was time to look for work outside the home. After much soul searching I realized I loved care giving and this was confirmed by family and friends. I have been a mother's helper and nanny for the past 5 years and have excellent references. I have taken care of infants and toddlers but am totally comfortable with all ages. I am extremely healthy and energetic. Both my husband and I come from fairly large families each with 7 siblings we have a total of 25 nieces and nephews my point being that I am very use to busy families and all that goes with it. I am a very warm, calm and patient women who is always on time. I know I can be a great asset to hard working parents.

Linda is wonderful!! We hired her to help on a part-time basis with our son from when he was 6 weeks old up to to 5.5 months and she was fantastic. Our son was colicky and ended up being diagnosed with silent reflux and CMPA at four months, so he was definitely not an easy baby. Despite his gastrointestinal pain, Linda cared for him with with such patience and kindness every day she was here. I'm so thankful for her help in getting us through the hardest months with our son and her positive attitude through it all. Our family unfortunately needs full-time care now as I'm going back to work, but otherwise we'd continue to work with Linda indefinitely.
