I have tried looking through various books and websites and could not find a proof of the existence of partitions of unity for smooth manifolds with boundary. I would like a proof or a reference to one.

The following is in German, if you can read it:

The first page of chapter 14 is 223. Scroll down to pp. 255–261. There a partition of unity is constructed for domains $B\subset{\mathbb R}^n$ having a smooth boundary. Maybe you can translate the setup to your situation.
