Meet Linda

I am unique in that my interaction is complemented frequently from many parents. My current and past experience throughout the years has focused on what I feel is very important to develop in children. This is to build their self-esteem to bring out the best in them. This strength, along with many other strengths I have developed over the years, has molded me into being a person who would be a great influence in any child's life. I have 3 children ages 19, 14 and 12. I also have 31 nieces and nephews. This includes triplets and 3 sets of twins. I am 1 of 9 children all living in the suburbs of Chicago. Having been a stay home mom and working part-time when my children were young, I understand the concern of working parents when hiring a nanny and what is expected and liked in their nanny while taking Read more care of their children. I have 5 years of working experience with children. I have been a lead teacher at a pre-school/fitness center and I am currently teaching gymnastics to young children. This job requires a lot of patience. I am 1 of 2 instructors that are given the younger aged classes due to my patience and fun personality making my classes very enjoyable. The children love me!
