About Linda

Experience: 20 yrs

I have always enjoyed working with children. I started babysitting in junior high and by the time I was in high school I had an afternoon job at a local day care center. I went on to get my teaching degree in Elementary Education and taught five years of third grade and a year of kindergarten. After having three children of my own and taking some time off I went back to teaching but decided to give preschool a try. I decided to take a job teaching a 5 day a week K-4 position at a local preschool. I worked there for over eight years. Over the last 12 years I've been doing part-time /full time Nanny jobs. I have worked for over 18 families and have taken care of over 41 children ranging from newborn to 12 years olds. I have enjoyed using my teaching skills and early childhood training to create a loving , nurturing, fun and safe environment for each child I take care of. I appreciate all the opportunities I have had to work with such wonderful parents and their amazing children.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Linda care for both of our daughters. From the very beginning, she was much more than a nanny—she was an exceptional educator, caregiver, and trusted member of our family. She created engaging learning opportunities that helped both of our children grow and thrive, while also providing a nurturing and loving environment where they felt safe and supported. Her patience, creativity, and dedication were evident every day. What truly set her apart was her ability to confidently and compassionately manage the complex medical challenges our oldest daughter was experiencing. She handled every situation with professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine care, giving us tremendous peace of mind during a difficult time. Our daughters absolutely adored her, and the bond they formed remains strong. Even today, they still talk about her fondly and remember the positive impact she had on their lives. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family looking for a skilled, dependable, and truly remarkable caregiver.
