Recruiter’s Comment
Jessica stands out as a highly capable nanny with both hands-on childcare experience and strong academic foundations. Her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology provides her with an excellent understanding of child development, behaviour, and emotional wellbeing — a valuable asset for families seeking not just a carer but someone who can actively support their child’s growth.

This was from Becky “Reference Letter for Jessica Steiner
To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to recommend Jessica Steiner for a position as a nanny. She cared for my young son on multiple occasions, and I was always impressed by her reliability, warmth, and natural ability with children.
Jessica is patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. My son was always happy and comfortable in her care, and I had complete confidence knowing he was safe and well looked after. She followed routines carefully, engaged him with age-appropriate activities, and handled responsibilities with maturity and professionalism.
I believe Jessica would make a wonderful addition to any family and would be an asset in a nanny role. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like further information.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Rutherford
