About Linda

Experience: 10 yrs

I am an awesome half Nigerian and Half German lady who loves to have fun and get things done. I have worked extensively with kids (young and older) and their parents. I was a teacher for many years. I still believe academic education and real-life lessons are key for a well-rounded education. I have been a successful live-in, and live out nanny previously and my tasks varied based on the requirements of the family. One of my kids -just got married and bought his first house. Yes, I am still in contact with him because of my fantastic relationship with the family. I am delighted to collaborate with you to create a safe and nurturing environment for your kids. I enjoy being goofy and having fun. Being an former Office Mgr of a local ER tells you becoming your House Mgr is an easy transition. I love dogs and all other pets. I look forward to working with you and helping you with your bundles of joy:-) I am ready to start work ASAP.

Our nanny has been such a beautiful blessing to our family. From the very beginning, it was clear that this was never “just a job” to her. She has truly become part of our family and has formed such a genuine, loving connection with all three of our boys. She is incredibly engaged with our children and takes the time to know them individually—their personalities, interests, needs, and what makes them happy. She doesn’t simply supervise them; she plays with them, talks with them, teaches them, encourages them, and genuinely enjoys being with them. You can see how much she loves them, and they absolutely adore her. What makes her especially special is the way she has embraced our entire family. She cares about how we are doing, checks in on us, celebrates our joys, and is there for us during the harder moments. She has become someone we trust deeply, not only with our children but with our home and our family as a whole. There is also a very meaningful spiritual connection that has developed between us. Her faith, kindness, and heart have been such a source of encouragement to our family. We feel incredibly fortunate that God brought her into our lives at the right time. She is dependable, loving, trustworthy, proactive, and thoughtful, but more than anything, she has a genuinely good heart. Finding someone who will care for your children with the same love and tenderness you would is incredibly difficult, and we feel so blessed to have found that in her. Additionally she has worked in a local hospital and has deep safety and wellness awareness for kids of all ages...including infants, toddlers and teens. If you can hire her, you will indeed be very lucky....and your investment will pay off many times over....as it has done in my family. I would recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone who will do far more than simply care for their children—she will truly invest her heart in your family. She has become much more than our nanny; she is someone we love and consider part of our family.
