Linda looked after our two sons (3 and 1 yo) all day and put them to bed in the evening. They had a lovely day with Linda and were very happy in her company. Linda is very experienced with little ones, and was extremely flexible for us when our situation changed on the day! Thoroughly recommend.

I had a lovely day with 2 busy boys and we had a lot of fun.I was made welcome by the family and would happily sit again for them.
Linda is very confident around children but also extremely warm and caring in her work. We found her to be very kind and reliable and our boys 2 & 5 really loved her. She can absolutely hit the ground running, all the while adapting to suit the children's needs and preferences. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda as a brilliant childcare provider.

Thank you Louise for such a lovely reference. As you know I thought the boys were fantastic and loved spending time with them.
We’ve used Linda as a babysitter since Max was just a few months old and she is still our main babysitter now when Max is over 1. Linda has a lot of experience with children, she’s calm, comforting, very dependable and she’s always been really great with Max. We always feel totally at ease leaving him with her and he’s always happy when she is here. I’d highly recommend her.
