Linda has babysat my child many times over the years. Her daughter and mine are the same age. I have also had the pleasure of observing her nanny two other children. She is attentive but not overprotective. She allows the kids to make messes, even encourages it. She is down to earth, honest, and all about the kids. Her home is not pristine; it is the home of a woman who makes children her life. Your children will love doing crafts, going places, and making friends as much as mine has.

Linda has been taking great care of my 2 girls since they were very young. They are always having a lot of fun and learning new things. Linda and her kids are like a second family to my girls and I would highly recommend Linda to anyone looking for childcare.

Five years ago, Linda started caring for our 18-month-old daughter. After that, we had another baby, and when he was 12 weeks old, she began providing full-time childcare for him as well. Eventually, the children went on to private pre-school and kindergarten, but she still keeps them during the summer months and frequently on the weekends. Linda has also kept our children on multiple occasions while my husband and I traveled out of the country. Linda is an excellent mother and childcare provider. The skill set she has for interacting and caring for children seems to come naturally. Our children have always enjoyed going to her house and over the years, my daughter has become very close to her daughter, Alannah (they are the same age). We have cherished having Linda in our lives. I have never doubted her judgement when teaching and correcting my children. If you want the best "enrichment program" for your child, Linda will provide it. Almost every day that my children are with her they are baking, cooking, making tie-die shirts, performing science projects, going to the zoo, the museum, etc. etc. etc. We have been amazed at her energy level and commitment to the children she keeps. We consider Linda, her husband, and their children good friends of ours. My husband and I highly recommend her as a full-time childcare provide, teacher, and babysitter.

Linda was our regular babysitter for our two kids for years. She watched our first child from age 2.5 to 4.5 and our second child from the time he was a newborn until he was 3. She is a wonderful, hands-on babysitter that engaged both of our children in daily crafts and learning activities. She also took them on several day trips to the zoo, aquarium, etc. Although Linda no longer watches our children (we moved 40 minutes away), we are still close to her and her children and will continue to be friends with her for years to come.
