Meet Linda

  • Comfortable with pets

Hi! I’m a nanny/sitter with 15+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, including newborns. I'm always open to meeting new families! In addition, I recently completed a seasonal position as a teacher’s assistant at a CPS elementary school. While employed there, I worked with students in preschool through eighth grade, which was a great learning experience! I believe in nurturing children through constructive and spontaneous playtime, conversation, reading books, singing songs, games, going to the park, giving hugs, and more! I've been a trusted caregiver for many families, and I've forged close relationships with both parents and children. I look forward to hearing from you.

Linda watched my 6-month-old son on a full-time, temporary basis, until a spot opened up for him in daycare. Linda is fit and active, and she took great care of my son! She went on daily walks, played on the floor with him, and incorporated specific exercises she learned by attending my son’s physical therapy sessions. In addition, Linda closely followed our sleep-training methods to get my son to sleep longer in his crib. With her help, my son went from taking super-short naps to eventually sleeping more than an hour in the crib on his own. She read him books, sang children’s songs, and engaged in different types of active play. Overall, Linda was very loving and caring, and I heartily recommend her!

Linda has been watching my son since he was 10 months old. He is now almost 3. It is so comforting to know he is in good hands and it is clear she truly cares about him. She cooks him breakfast and lunch and keeps him engaged in various activities all day. She requires very minimal direction as she is a natural with children. We are so lucky to have found Linda.

I hired Linda in the fall of 2012. She watched my 3 month old son 3 full days a week. She was a great choice! She was wonderful with the baby and cared for him as I would have. When he was older they always went outside, went for walks, played games, puzzles, play dough etc. I had my second child in June of 2015, and when I went back to teaching in the fall, Linda watched both my 3 year old son and my 3 month old daughter. When my son was school aged she continued to watch my daughter. She continued to be very interactive with my daughter and even took her to her scheduled classes such as Kindermusic. This fall both kids are going to school. We will miss Linda as part of our lives. She always made sure she honored my requests for their care. She was fun and fully interactive with the kids. I highly recommend Linda as a sitter. She genuinely cares for the children and cares about her job.

Linda nannied for our son from 4 months to ~14 months, and we loved her! She is very detail oriented, sweet, honest and professional. Our son adores her and she is so good to him. She has been was willing to adapt to our parenting style, including entering daily activities on an app, sleep training and bottle feeding. Her and our son go on adventures to the park, and she has even wanted to take him to a Wiggleworms classes. She has a few decades of experience nannying for other families, who also gave her rave reviews. She is always on time, and has a very professional and positive attitude. She will want to do the best job for you and your family, and she will become a member of the family.
