Letter of Recommendation - To Whom it May Concern: I am writing in regard to Mina, who I believe is the best choice to be your nanny. I have known Mina for 3 years, during which time I have gotten to know her quite well. She was the full-time nanny for my son from the age of 6 months to 18 months. Mina has a gentle manner and she is full of love for young children. She demonstrated patience and intelligence, and brought much laughter into the house when she was with my son. She was always on time, and never called in sick. She showed a cheerful willingness to stay late when asked on occasion. Sensing our busy lives, she even volunteered for weekend work, though we did not take advantage of this often. In addition to caring for our young son, Mina made sure the house was tidy when I returned from work. She was very helpful in this regard and I always knew the house would be in good order when I returned. Please feel free to contact me if you would like to elaborate on anything I have written here. I would be happy to discuss her excellent qualifications at length. Sincerely, Rachael

Letter of Recommendation - To whom it may concern, We hired Mina to take care of our one-year-old Alex full-time and 3.5-year-old Zack part-time (he went to daycare 2 days a week). Mina worked for us from February-September, after which Alex started daycare and Zack went to school. I could not recommend Mina more, and frankly I wish she still worked for us since she made our lives so much easier. First, she was incredibly affectionate and caring towards our children. She took care of them like her own, and they both became very attached to her. We have neighbors who crossed paths with Mina and the kids at drop-in centers and they often commented on how great she was with them, and oftentimes people thought she was the grandmother. Mina is completely self-sufficient in finding fun and fulfilling activities for the kids. She found and took them to drop in centers, libraries, parks, splash pads, etc. They spent months out and about. This was especially great for me since I worked from home during that time, so I could focus while the kids were out having a good time. Mina is also completely reliable and was always on time and never missed a day. It was also very easy to communicate with her in person or by email, phone or text message. She is like a family member for us. We don’t have family in Toronto and having her nearby is so reassuring. She has helped us a number of times at the last minute to take care of one child when we had to take the other to the hospital, or for various other reasons. If you hire Mina, your kids will be loved, have a great time, be safe, and you will be able to go about your day worry-free. My husband and I, as well as our kids, are big fans. Please contact me anytime if you have any questions. Stephanie
