Hello, I am writing to express my interest in the position of Nanny. I meet all your listed requirements and believe would make a good nanny for your family. I have years of experience as a nanny and a montessori daycare worker including certificates in New York State Office of Children and Family Services Early Childhood Education and Training Program. In addition to two full-time nanny positions, I have worked as a part-time babysitter for several families during my high school days. This experience and the fact that I had two younger siblings to care and cook for have helped me develop exceptionalchild care skills. 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, Read more which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I am comfortable caring for dogs as I have a dog myself and don’t mind running errands, cleaning and cooking if needed. 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. Thank you, Maya Hylton Mnhylton@gmail.com

Maya had accepted our offer for after-school babysitting. Three days before the first day of school, she texted (TEXTED!) us to say she had accepted another position, leaving us in a bind with no after-school care. She did not attempt to speak to us before accepting the other position, but when we did speak to her after receiving her text, she said she was open to negotiating. We declined, as we didn't want to have her abandon another family as she did ours. She seemed very nice and was on time for her interview and orientation meeting, but this was very unprofessional and discourteous. I hope she provides more thoughtful care to the family who hired her.
