Lynda has helped us many times. Upon our return the house is clean and tidy with clean kitchen and floors. Sometimes it seems like it is cleaner than we left it. She is great taking care of plants and pets. She feels a sense of responsibility for everything in her care. She has taken care of our dogs and cats. She is a natural cat lover and is especially good with them and they seem to know it. We always feel good when she is there and we are away.
