We are moving out of the country and will, unfortunately, be losing our mother's help. I'm in the process of writing her a letter of recommendation and would like some advice. My fear is that I'll leave something out and someone will take that as a bad sign. So, here it is so far.. tell me what I'm missing!
To Whom It May Concern:
(Her name) has worked for me as a Mother's Help for 10 months. She has taken care of my two sons who are currently 4 1/2 years old and 11 months old as well as cooked, helped out around the house and run various errands. I can highly recommend Julie to anyone needing someone trustworthy, hard working, very capable around the home and energetic with the children.
My youngest son was a month old when Julie began working with me and has seen him through many milestones: teething, beginning solid food, crawling and starting to walk. She makes most of his food for him and is better than I am at getting him to take naps regularly. My eldest son has severe food allergies to milk and peanuts and she has dealt with this superbly. I feel very confident leaving both boys in her care. Julie is also a wonderful cook and can make a variety of dishes. She has been invaluable in all aspects of running a home smoothly with two young boys.
Julie is punctual, friendly, industrious and takes the initiative to do what she sees needs to be done. She is adaptable and easily learns new tasks. She has shown a great loyalty to my family and has helped out with extra time and babysitting whenever needed. The boys love her and will miss her greatly. The same can be said for myself and if it were possible, I would ask her to move to Switzerland with us.
In closing, I would like to wholeheartedly recommend (her name) for any position she is seeking. If you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to contact me at: (contact details here)
Regards,
Thanks. JJ
