   Character Reference for Childcare

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing in regard to {Name}, whom I believe is the best choice for your open childcare position.

I have known {Name} for {length of time}, during which I have gotten to know to know {him/her} quite well. My children, and all other children who spend time around {Name}, have a great deal of fun and are never bored.

But that's not the quality that makes for a good childcare provider. {Name} is able to walk that fine line between "the fun one" and "the disciplinarian." That is not an easy task, but {Name} manages it with ease, and as such is able to retain the children's respect. We may not always think that a child respecting us is important, but it really does go a long way in keeping a child (and, in the process, his/her caregiver) happy. {Name's} ability to gain a child's respect convinces me that {he/she} is destined to be in this line of work.

Lest you think I'm only speaking abstractly, I want you to know that {Name} has cared my children often, and I trust {him/her} with them implicitly.

Anytime I am in need of a childcare provider, I think of {Name}, so I do not hesitate in recommending in hiring {him/her} for the position. I strongly encourage you to jump at the opportunity to have {him/her} care for your children.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like me to elaborate on anything I've written her, or if you have any specific questions about {Name}. I would be happy to discuss {his/her} excellent qualifications at length.

Sincerely,

{Sender}
