"Serving as a reference for Linda Showalter as she embarks upon developing an independent concierge business gives me great pleasure. Linda has the qualities this type of service requires -- honesty and trustworthiness, reliability, knowledge and skills, and a wonderful, people oriented personality.

For many years, I have been encouraging Linda to develop such a service because I have always felt it would "fit her to a t" and I know the people who choose to use her services will enjoy and be uplifted by her.

My husband and I have employed Linda many times over the past 6-8 years. We have trusted her with a key to our condo all these years. Never once has she given us, or anyone else I know, any reason to question her honesty and/or the successful completion of the tasks she's been ask to do. Many Willowbrook Condo homeowners have also employed her as we have and I have never heard anyone criticize her or be unhappy with what they have asked her to do. Linda's happy positive personality is wonderful. She does not gossip nor repeat things told her in confidence.

Over the years, Linda has developed a wide variety of work skills ranging from indoor house painting to keeping financial records for others. She always seeks to know exactly what level of assistance/work the person employing her desires.

There is no doubt in my mind that her clientele will be most pleased with Linda Showalter and the job she does for them. Thank you for this opportunity to tell you about an exceptional person who will become a friend to those who elect to employ her.
