A caregiver recommendation or reference letter is typically written by the previous employer, supervisor, or teacher. It is used to highlight the caregiver’s talents and qualities.
It is usually a “To Whom It May Concern” Letter with a special focus on an individual’s skills in managing the daily activities of either elderly or disabled clients, residents of a facility, or children.
Caregiver recommendations and reference letters are very useful for applicants who are applying for a new job. That is because it allows hiring managers to see what an employee performed in the past.
In fact, caregivers have to perform specialized job tasks that require special abilities and are hard to justify in a Caregiver’s Resume. Prospective employers value real-life examples of how the applicant has handled actual situations.
The following 2 samples will give you a better idea of how to write a caregiver reference or recommendation letter.

To Whom It May Concern
It is my immense pleasure to recommend Jane Auburn for the position of Caregiver at Brookdale Senior Living. As her supervisor, I affirm her suitability and ability to work well in personal care capacities.
Jane is an honest and diligent young woman who is passionate to help others. While she was working at Scottsdale Senior Residents, she demonstrated immense fervor by providing the residents with a reason to live actively each day. Her presence at the facility made it a fun and well-organized place as she has the ability to display professionalism with a touch of personal attitude that makes her so popular.
Not only she can assist the elderly with their daily activities but also she is able to ensure that they do not feel lonely. Besides that, she has a profound habit of completing all tasks with dedication. Many times, she even sacrificed her free time to spend a little more time with the older adults.
To summarize, I believe that she will be an asset to any organization because her commitment and caregiving skills are above par. I wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
Should you need more information regarding her, please feel free to call or email me.
Sincerely,
Courtney Cox

Caregiver Recommendation Letter Sample 2

To Whom It May Concern
It is a true pleasure for me to write this letter of recommendation for Maria Bailey. Maria had worked as my mother’s primary caregiver for more than 3 years. Looking after my mother, who had advanced dementia was challenging, but Maria handled it dedicatedly and professionally.
Maria is compassionate by nature and always positive about things. Even during the terrible rages of anger that she was subjected to by my mother, she remained calm and in a state of “constant caregiving.” As someone who has a great devotion to logic and an eye for detail, she has the capacity to remain calm and think logically, even during severely distressing times.
During the time Maria spent working with my mother, she provided her with much-needed companionship and conversation, medication support, and assistance with incontinence and also worked as her nutritionist. I genuinely believe that because of her eagerness to help, she made my mother’s life more comfortable than it would have been otherwise.
In conclusion, I recommend Maria for a caregiver position without reservation. I believe that she is completely capable of providing exceptional care, both on a physical and emotional level while maintaining her client’s dignity. If there is anything else that you need to know about Maria, please feel free to contact me at (000) 411-5693.
