To whom it may concern,
With this letter, we would like to warmly recommend {{Name Nanny}}, who has been our “ayi” for the past {{Number of years}} years. We met {{Name Nanny}} through French friends she was previously working with. Leaving {{Country}}, they wanted her to find a family she would feel comfortable with. Meeting {{Name Nanny}} has been decisive for us as she means so much to our family.
{{Name Nanny}} came into our lives simultaneously with the birth of our eldest {{Daughter/Son}}. Both {{Parent names}} working, we were able to count on {{Name Nanny}} to take care of our {{number of months}}- month-old {{Daughter/Son}}. She loved our {{Daughter/Son}}, cared for her, talked to her, played with her, raised her rightly. {{Number of years}} years later, our second {{Daughter/Son}} was born and in the same way, {{Name Nanny}} took her under his wing.
{{Name Nanny}} has become a special member of our family, we all love her very much. She found her place, with generosity and discretion. We would have liked her to come with us to {{Country}} where we are settling, but the health of her elderly mother and the immense attachment she has to her own family, to her grand {{Daughter/Son}}, do not allow her to leave {{Country}} peacefully.
Beyond the major role that {{Name Nanny}} played with our {{Daughter/Son}}, she took care of our house. {{Name Nanny}} cooks divinely well, {{Pays}}se and Western. She is resourceful, cheerful, generous, and very reliable. Thus, we wish to help {{Name Nanny}} find a family in which she can once again provide such precious support, serenity, and joy as we experienced alongside her. We hope that she will be able to continue to flourish with a loving and welcoming family. We are at your disposal for any further information.
