Emilia S., Babysitter in Amenia, NY 12501 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Emilia, I am 19 years old and I love working with kids. I have wanted to work with children since I was young, I started my first babysitting job at the age of 15. I would love to find a part-time nannying job because I do attend college but can work my school schedule around a set work schedule. My main focus when nannying for your child/children is to ensure their safety, support their development, and provide a nurturing and engaging environment. I feel that nannying will be perfect because I’ve always known I wanted to work with kids and after hearing my mom’s stories about growing great connections to her nanny family when she was my age, I wanted to do the same. I always had this passion to help people. I do have a car and drivers license in case of any errands that need to be done. Relevant experience where I also cared for children was when… - I babysat on the weekends for a family that lives in my town, for two sweet girls who were 7 and 10. I would paint their nails (with permission from parents), braid their hair, go outside with their chickens, and take care and hangout with their two dogs. One was a pit and the other was a lab. - I watched this families child in Rhinebeck, he was 2. We made things out of model magic clay, we went outside and he would tell me about every single plant his parents planted, I would read to him ALL the time because he loves books, and his favorite was hide and seek. - And then, I babysit for a family friend who has 3 children, ages 12, 3 and 8m. This was usually at night when the youngest were going to sleep but before then I would make dinner and then get them ready for bed. The oldest was allowed to stay awake until her parents got home. Some activities I enjoy doing with children is… playing outside, I love soaking up the sun when it’s nice out and drawing with chalk. I will do age appropriate activities that help the child improve and grow. We can go for walks, finger paint, make arts and crafts, go to the park, anything as long as we’re safe and having some fun! If the child has homework, I will help with homework and additional learning. I look forward to hearing from you soon!!

To whom it may concern, Enclosed please find my resume. I would very much like to be considered for a position in your school. I have 25 years of experience as a special education teacher. My experience has been with elementary students from pre-school to fifth grade. I have worked with students with learning disabilities, behavior issues, autism, mild to moderate to severe disabilities. Students that have below grade level academics, OT and speech issues, and social-emotional issues. Through my years of experience, I have come to learn that is important to build a foundation of integrity, honesty, and compassion in order to facilitate the learning of children at an early age. I believe in an environment that allows each child to reach their fullest potential in all areas of life, no matter what their learning challenges may be. My teaching philosophy is to empower children, ignite their creativity and build a strong sense of self, allowing them to enjoy the process of learning. As you can see from my resume, I have the professional experience and certifications that more than demonstrate my ability as a teacher, what it doesn't show is my passion for being involved in encouraging each child to reach their potential. Every child has the capacity to learn, the trick is to find out how to connect with the child to support their individual way of learning. My philosophy is to treat each child has a whole individual to reach their goals. If you are looking for someone who will put the needs of the child first, will be innovative and creative in their approach, and feels that every child can be reached, than I think I would be a great addition to your team. I look forward to hearing from you soon and thank you for this opportunity. Dawn Spagna
