We are privileged to have employed Linda as our nanny for 3 years from the 5th January 2021. Linda is reliable, fun, loving and hardworking for my two children aged now 10 and 12.
Linda supervised my children while I was at work. She was responsible for getting the kids to school in the morning, driving them home after school, preparing snacks and meals, and accompanying them to various extracurricular activities. She supported home playdates and was very flexible with her hours as we transitioned between term time and holidays.
Linda is professional, thoughtful and organised as well as being warm, nurturing and responsive to our children’s needs.
She became an invaluable addition to our family and our children simply loved the bonus of having Ollie the dog too. We will miss her and Ollie as well as the contribution they made to our lives.

Thank you lovely lady for your beautiful review. You are so kind. The four of you will always be part of Mine and Ollie's life. Very special people and we are blessed to have met you on our journey.🌷
Linda worked for us as a mothers help in May/June 2020. She was helped keep the house in order and took good care of my daughter so I could relax and have a nap. Thank you for your help Linda xxx

Linda has been a fantastic Nanny to our two children over the past 11 months. We are very sad to have to part ways with her and this is only due to the economic climate that we are currently dealing with. I can not highlight enough how Linda always arrives on time with a smile on her face, ready to get stuck into any area of child care, domesticity in the kitchen or whizzing through the children's washing. She would help with their spellings and listen to them read. I know for other families she would do the children's homework with them. Linda worked most mornings for us arriving at 7am allowing us to get into work early and then worked after school, doing the school run, taking the children to various clubs, keeping them fully fed, which is a huge task as they love so much fruit and veg chopped up! Using her sense of humour and years of child experience to deal with any issues our 7 and 11 year old may have had. In 11 months there was not one problem that arose allowing myself and my husband to focus on my business. On the night that the children had no clubs we manage to talk through timings with Linda to make the day work so she could even cook the whole family a roast once a week, and she was more than happy to pop a jacket potato or something in the oven for myself and my husband if we were working late. Our home and kitchen was always left spotless. She is completely on point with her organisation, she arrived at my house on the first day with a Nanny folder, so we could document medicine given to children, she would write every day the days events and what happened so I knew exactly what they had all done that day. she would diligently work out all the mileage and e-mail a detailed daily account, once a month. I think it is worth mentioning that when Linda came to us we had an awful experience with an Au- Pair so my children would not have been easy to deal with in the beginning and my son has OCD, I think at this point my children just wanted me their mum to be at home full time, but Linda won them round quickly and we have had an extremely happy family. I would come home to laughs and smiles, the children showered and fully fed.

I came across Linda on childcare.co.uk and she messaged me to offer her help with adhoc babysitting so my husband and I could have the odd night out! 😊 it was no problem at all to meet up and have a chat before hand and I had no issue booking straight away. So far Linda has babysat my two just once but I would love to book again when we need. Linda is extremely warm, caring and wonderfully experienced in all ages. She is very accommodating and professional. We are very happy to leave our two in her care. She is the first person other than family to look after them. I know it can be a daunting idea but be rest assured with Linda, I wouldn’t hesitate to book again 😍 a special lady xxx

From a grateful ❤.

Linda has been baby sitting for us since my son was 6 weeks old.
From day 1 she gave us peace of mind leaving him. She genuinely loves looking after him, she’s so patient with him, even when he was going through his colic phase she was calm and loving and was able to keep the crying to a minimum. She provides very detailed write ups after each baby sitting session, and she accommodates any requests we have eg following a strict routine. She reads to him, plays with him, talks to him, takes him for walks etc).
It’s a pleasure having her in my home. Mom guilt is a real thing but I’ve never felt judged or uncomfortable having her around.
She’s flexible around times and days she can babysit (assuming she’s not already booked elsewhere) and she accommodates last minute changes when we’ve asked.
We’re very grateful to have had her help over the last few months and would be very happy recommending her to other new mums.

Thank you Samantha for your very kind and thoughtful trusting review.
I feel very blessed to be your Son's babysitter, he is a gorgeous bundle of joy to care for.
Bless you all.🌺
We are so lucky to have Lin in our lives!
She has been caring for my two children for the last few years as both an after school nanny and evening babysitter.
The house is calm when I arrive home - children fed and focused on activities. They really enjoy her company and I know they are safe with her either at home or out and about.
Lin seems to really know each of my children well and responds to their needs. She plans activities and meals accordingly. She is easy to communicate with, so I know all her plans too. The kitchen is clean and tidy after she's cooked.

Thank you so much Caro for your heart felt words.
Thank you for trusting me with your beautiful girls.
I am richly blessed to be in your lives.
Linda has been fantastic. I have a 12 year old and a now 10 month old, she has babysat for me since our youngest was 3 months old. Both of the boys love her and I feel extremely happy and confident leaving her in charge.
With no extended family to lean on Lin has been my go to person for help with the baby. There is no one else I trust to feed him, put him to bed and to care for him. I can actually relax and not worry when she is with both boys. Lin is extremely reliable, friendly, warm and caring.
Lin has also made a real friend in my 12 year old and often has movie night with him. At 12 he feels he doesn’t need a sitter, Lin makes the evening fun and he really enjoys himself. I highly recommend Linda to any family wanting childcare for young or older children.

Linda has been a wonderful nanny to my family over the last eight months and a great support to me in the home.
She has a calm yet fun loving temperament, manages to keep the children in line without ever raising her voice but through gentle explanation and distraction, and has a great sense of humour with an infectious laugh. My children adore her, and her dog Ollie, who they often take for walks.
From a personal perspective, Linda has been incredibly proactive in helping me run the house and keep on top of the children’s activities, meals and washing.
Linda has become a great friend to us all, and will be very missed. I would highly recommend her.
