Dear {Recipient Name},

This is my reference letter for {Babysitter name}. I have used {Babysitter name} as a babysitter for the past three years, and they have been friends of our family for the past eight years. {Babysitter name} has consistently exceeded my expectations in terms of their work ethic and interpersonal skills.

When I was initially interviewing for babysitters, I spoke with ten different people. {Babysitter name} stood out from the rest in terms of ability to communicate and professionalism, even during our first meeting. They quickly adjusted to the specific rules and schedules of our household. After babysitting for us for a few months, I even gave {Babysitter name} a copy of the key to our house and they began to pick up my children from school and watch them until I got home from work. This saved me a significant amount of money compared to using an after-school program and also provided them with more one-on-one support. {Babysitter name} never fails to impress me with their can-do attitude and extensive knowledge.

I can think of several specific examples of times when {Babysitter name} really came through and saved the day. Like when I had to work late unexpectedly one night, and they were able to watch my kids from after school until 10 pm on a weeknight and even made dinner for them. Or when I needed a last-minute babysitter to attend the funeral of a family member. {Babysitter name} is loyal and will do everything in their power to help and support the families that they babysit for.

I hope these examples of what a dedicated and hard-working babysitter {Babysitter name} is will help you in making your decision. Babysitters like {Babysitter name} are hard to replace, and the only reason I no longer employ them myself is that my children have since grown up and no longer require a sitter. I highly recommend {Babysitter name}, and know they will serve you well.

Please feel free to contact me at {Phone number} if you need any further information or have any questions regarding {Babysitter name}.

Sincerely,
