Childcare Reference Letter

January 5, 2024

To whom it may concern,

I am writing to wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie for the position of nanny in any household. Stephanie nannied for us for three years when we were living in California, from the time that our son was 15 months old. She was an invaluable support to our family, caring for our child with unparalleled warmth, organization, and professionalism.

Stephanie's warmth and genuine affection for children create an environment that is not only nurturing but also joyous. Her ability to connect with our child on a personal level played a crucial role in their emotional, social development and overall well-being. Stephanie's compassionate nature and patient demeanor make her an exceptional caregiver who is attuned to the unique needs of each child.

In addition to her interpersonal skills, Stephanie is exceptionally organized and efficient in her responsibilities. She consistently demonstrated an impressive level of attention to detail, ensuring that the daily routines and schedules were meticulously planned and executed. Her organizational skills extended to creating a safe and stimulating environment for Jasper, fostering both their creativity and independence. Stephanie regularly made meals for and with Jasper, including him in preparation and clean-up in developmentally appropriate ways. She accompanied him to swimming lessons, museums (nurturing his love of dinosaurs), and spent countless hours at parks ensuring his exercise and safety.

Stephanie's clarity of communication is another standout quality that greatly contributed to our peace of mind. Her ability to articulate important information, share updates on Jasper’s activities, and express any concerns clearly and concisely was invaluable. She also listened to our approach to parenting, asked questions for clarification, and supported this style in her interactions with Jasper. This clear communication extended to Jasper, promoting his language development and a healthy and open relationship.

Punctuality and reliability are qualities that Stephanie embodied consistently. She demonstrated an unwavering commitment to her responsibilities, always arriving promptly and ensuring that our child's needs were met without compromise. Stephanie's reliability was a great support for our family, allowing us to navigate our busy schedules with confidence.

In conclusion, Stephanie is an exceptional nanny whose warmth, organization, clear communication, punctuality, and reliability have made an indelible impact on our family. I am confident that she will bring the same level of dedication and professionalism to any household fortunate enough to have her as a caregiver.

Should you have any further questions or require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me. I wholeheartedly endorse Stephanie and am confident that she will exceed your expectations.

Sincerely,

Sara Switzman
