After recently retiring from my long career in the senior industry & having taken loving care of both parents at the end of their lifes journey, I am now interested in making a positive impact on children's lives. As the oldest of 5 and auntie to 12, I have years of hands on babysitting experience (which goes well beyond just babysitting..) that has solidified my desire to support families by providing reliable care. I am patient, creative, and friendly. I communicate through daily reports and verbal updates, always following your preferred method. I am comfortable enforcing household rules by following your lead. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational apps with children. I have a college degree and current CPR Training. I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, errands & arts/crafts. Since I have a car (and am CPR cert. for pets too), I can easily manage various tasks. I hope to bring my passion for child & pet care to your family!
We feel incredibly lucky to have found Linda! She goes above and beyond for our family, especially in caring for our medically complex child. She checks in regularly, sends pictures and videos throughout the day, and keeps detailed daily logs that give us so much peace of mind while we’re away. She is dependable, attentive, caring, and truly invested in our family. She has become such a wonderful addition to our village, and we are so grateful for her!
