hi!!! My name is Linda, and I am a proud mother of 3 successful adults, and a grandmother to 5 littles. I have great relationships with all kids. They enjoy being with me because I am super fun, I like to do super fun things and I am super patient and FULL of love and laughter. I am EMT and CPR trained. I am looking for a little work in childcare. I recently graduated from the University of La Verne with a bachelors in Children Educational Studies online. I am Also a gulf war army veteran. I hope that you find my bio helpful and interesting. Thanks again. let's talk
We had such a wonderful experience with our childcare provider! She cared for our 3- and 5-year-old boys and was consistently reliable—handling school drop-offs and pick-ups with ease, which made our daily routine so much smoother. Her background in childhood development and education truly shows. She was incredibly hands-on and made the time she spent with our kids both fun and educational. They were always engaged in meaningful activities, and we could see how much they were learning and growing under her care. She also went above and beyond by helping tidy up around the house and clean up after the kids, which was such a huge help for our family. She is kind, dependable, and very communicative—qualities that gave us complete peace of mind. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional childcare. We only wish she lived closer, because we would absolutely still be working with her! As an added bonus, she is also great with animals.
