Linda was really great. I needed to be collected from hospital post-surgery, and to have support for the first 24 hours. Even before meeting her communication was very professional and friendly. Very attentive to my potential needs. As a former nurse, I was attracted to her wide range of skills and experience. She was on-time, immediately helping us to travel to an overnight hotel. She stayed overnight and kept a gentle watch on me until the next day. She was also really fun to talk to and I was very happy that I had found her for what was quite a stressful day for me. Highly, highly recommend. Gemma
