We travelled to the UK in July 2019 for work -- my husband and I are both scientists. We engaged Linda to watch our little boy of 6 months old for two days while we went to our conference. Linda was wonderful with him! She has a very calm and gentle manner which we prefer. Her instincts were also very good (like not liking him to have a certain toy in his mouth because she wasn't sure about the paint it had on it). She had no problem getting him to sleep, eat, and play quietly and she took him for nice walks outside. Linda was very good with communication and punctuality and was very professional. If we travel that way again we would happily engage her to watch him again.
