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.
