Though I do not have children of my own, I have worked with children most of my life. I know what it takes to be an excellent caregiver/role model on a daily basis, providing structure and routine in a setting where your children can shine and learn along the way. I am interested in relocating from Galveston, TX to begin a new journey elsewhere. I feel I can bring additional love and warmth to the family you have already created. I have over 5 years of experience as a Special Education teacher for ages 10-14. I have also been a nanny in college for two different sets of sisters while they were in elementary school. I have a letter of recommendation from a parent of one of my students and a rating score from my current principal and asst. principal that I will be glad to email to you. I Read more have been complemented for my responsible, mature, and professional way of caring for children. 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 a younger brother to care and cook for have helped me develop exceptional child caring 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, which I believe are among the most important skills for a nanny. I like to do crafts, go places, swim, play games with the kids and help shape them into independent contributors to the household as well. I don’t mind doing extra duties for you, like some cleaning and cooking a light dinner for the entire family. I work well with other people, thanks to my friendly and caring nature, and am sure I will make a good team with your other household employees. 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. I will be glad to discuss things via skype first should you prefer. Thank you for your consideration.
