About Linda

Experience: 10 yrs

Your search is over! I'm the Caregiver who sits on the floor to play games with your preschooler... the one with the magic wand, soft voice, sensitive ways, & silly faces. I give hugs & smiles, yet set limits tactfully & positively. If your elementary aged kids like the outdoors, physical activities, arts & crafts & games, then you are all set with me. I keep my presence known while leaving them respectful boundaries to preserve their inner worlds. Over & above, my career was spent as a Special Ed teacher. My goal is to revisit my love for children, watching them grow through play while maintaining their secure home environment. You will have peace of mind with me around. Let's talk about how I can specifically create a caring space for your family. You'll be so glad you did! SEEK PART TIME WORK with 1-2 kids AGES PreK -12. GOOD REFERENCES

I hired Linda because I had a 3 day work meeting and had no coverage for my son for one half day and sports. She needed to meet my son at home for a half day from the bus and to take him to hockey practice at 4:20. She allowed him to watch TV the entire day, except for practice. When I came home they were watching TV and he had eaten snacks instead of doing homework, showering or eating real food/dinner. She never sent a query or asked any questions. She also walked around my house with her shoes on I specifically asked her to remove them. My son said she never helped him with his hockey equipment (enormous bag/stick) nor to get dressed and he could not easily locate her after practice concluded. My son accidently left his hockey stick in her car and she ignored my requests to retrieve it. I paid this woman $25/hour. My son did not like her from the start and she did not attempt to play or get to know him.
