I believe you will find I am an excellent candidate to become your nanny given my education, interests, and professional background. I have a winning personality, the exact skills and experience that you are seeking, as well as a great appreciation for and dedication to children. I am currently working as a swim instructor and fill-in nanny for the family of a swimming student, I would like to further this career, which is why I believe I will make the perfect addition to your family.
I have always devoted my work and studies towards a rewarding career helping children; I’m interested in combining my goals with those of yours and your children. Throughout my years of employment and interning I have developed skills such as non-verbal communication, anticipation of childrens' needs, also creating healthy meal plans and managing time to enhance quality of life. I am remarkably skilled at de-escalating problem situations and persuading challenging babies.
I worked as a caregiver while I studied sociology and medicine at Loyola University Chicago before graduating in 2008. In the time since I have worked as an autism specialist, a program director and a direct support provider with United Cerebral Palsy. As former aquatics director I planned and implemented a summer camp, supervised and lead my staff, managed an administrative office, budgeted payroll and enjoyed the work as well as the atmosphere. I have attached my resume for your review and would like to thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Carly Bastow
Carly babysat for us about 4 times and we were hoping to use her as a regular sitter. I was really impressed by her professionalism when she showed up and the way she interacted with our son. After a few times he really looked forward to her coming. The reason I am giving her 3 stars is the last time she was scheduled to sit she called 5 minutes before to indicate she had overslept but could be there in 15- 20 minutes. I had an important meeting and she then texted to say she couldn't find a cab but it was nice meeting me. It was very inconsistent with my previous experience with. her - Debra R.

I frequently babysat for the families of children I met as a tutor and a swim instructor. I've enjoy working with children to help them succeed whether at academics or aquatics. I believe that consistency and encouragement help children learn best.
I've happily babysat for my current employer daily for the past two years. I started as a mother's helper when the child was an infant and now I feel like a part of the family,
