To whom it may concern,
It is my pleasure to write this letter of reference to recommend Mano Weheliye for any
position in the field of personal support and caregiving. I met and hired Mano in March 2024
as a Personal Support Worker for my wife who has a cognitive impairment (likely Lewy Body
Dementia). At the time, my wife was in the hospital for a few months with Mano’s and other
worker’s support until she could be moved into a long-term care facility, where she is now
living. My wife has been assessed as a 24/7 two support care case, but Mano and her team
continue to support her 12 hours a day.
Mano provides exceptional care and support that greatly improved the quality of life for my
wife. Mano consistently demonstrates a high level of professionalism, compassion and
dedication. She is very hard working, patient, incredibly attentive to my wife’s needs and I
can completely rely on her to be there and ensure my wife is comfortable, safe and well
cared for. She goes above and beyond – she even ensures my wife has the groceries she
loves and clothing she needs. She is always reliable, punctual and has attended outside
her shifts and worked more shifts to help my wife transition during multiple moves – a true
sign of dedication. She has trained the long-term care home staff and other private
personal support workers for the days or nights she cannot attend and always ensure there
is coverage for her. She ensures these workers know what my wife requires and has learned
the approach my wife needs for care, including triggers, etc.
In addition to Mano’s caregiving and manager skills, Mano possesses excellent
interpersonal and organizational skills. She is kind, empathetic, and always maintains a
positive and loving attitude, which has made a significant difference for my wife. Her ability
to communicate effectively and build a strong rapport with me has been one of the many
reasons why I trust her completely. She also is Italian speaking and has staff with Arabic
language skills.
Mano’s strong work ethic and commitment to excellence have been evident in every aspect
of work. I am confident that Mano’s team will be an asset for any individual seeking a
dedicated and compassionate personal support worker. Mano has my highest
recommendation, and I am certain that she and her team will continue to provide
outstanding care and support wherever they are.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or require further information.
Sincerely,
Sven S
