To whom it may concern I am writing to express my interest in the position of Nanny. I understand from your ad you are looking for an experienced, qualified, and caring nanny. I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny. I have years of experience as a nanny for two families. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a preschool and daycare teacher with children from infants to 4 and 5 years old. I love children and enjoy their company immensely and find nothing is more rewarding than taking care of them. I believe in creating a positive, happy environment for children, one in which they feel protected and can thrive. I have good organizational and communication skills, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I completed a CPR and First Aid training . I believe such knowledge is important and can be a life saver. I am deeply interested in working for you, and hope you will give me a chance to meet you in person to discuss my candidacy in detail. By the way, my last nanny job was for a wonderful family in Glencoe . I stayed with them for six and a half years. Dorota Zukowski

Hi! My name is Danni Alvarez, I am 29 years old and I have been worked with children for the last 10 years. With over ten years of experience nurturing, guiding, and educating children—as a nanny, day camp counselor, and most recently a lead teacher at Champions—I’ve developed a deep passion for creating warm, engaging, and supportive environments where children thrive. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with kids of various ages and backgrounds. Whether leading a classroom, planning enriching activities, or supporting a child one-on-one, I strive to foster curiosity, confidence, and kindness. I also speak Spanish fluently and have had experience teaching that to babies and toddlers! My time at Champions especially strengthened my skills in classroom management, curriculum planning, and collaborative teamwork with fellow educators and families. What I love most about working with children is seeing the world through their eyes—the joy in small discoveries, the power of encouragement, and the importance of consistency and care. I bring patience, creativity, and genuine enthusiasm to every role, and I’m excited about the possibility of contributing to your family! Thank you for considering my application.
