Sample Letter Introducing Yourself as a Nanny

Dear Ma'am,

I am Yuna Lanesworth. I saw your ad at the Sunshine Daycare looking for a stay-in Nanny for your toddler. As you've heard the Marsdale family are moving to Van Nuys, and I've worked for them as a full-time nanny for 5 years now.

Unfortunately, I am not moving out with this wonderful family as they make a new life in Van Nuys, as you may understand, I grew up here in this neighborhood and I have no plans of relocating. I have been a Catalina resident for over 26 years now.

I'm still looking after their eldest Daniel until the end of the month, which is their final week here. Mrs. Gemma Marsdale will welcome any call from you with regards to my care and duties as a nanny. I also have have other references which includes Teacher Maria from Sunshine Daycare. If you have any questions or concerns, I would welcome an interview and gladly answer them over coffee.

Thank you,
Pam

Working with Children Cover Letter

A cover letter for a professional caregiver for children, lived-in baby sitter or nanny.

Dear Mrs. Dale,

As a nanny and infant caregiver who has worked for 3 years in a daycare center, I know how very particular parents are about who watches over their children. I understand that caring for a child is a huge responsibility and placing one in my care means a loving parent is placing a huge amount of trust in me. It is something I am honored to do, I am very motherly and I love taking care of children. People know me as a trustworthy, reliable person.

I am a multi-tasker. You can rely on me to do a number of duties within the household. I can also teach personal care routines to a child: brushing teeth, combing hair, trimming nails and dressing properly. I am very patient when it comes to children.

I am seeking long-term commitment with a family. I am very discreet, professional and well-mannered. I have a driver's license and underwent CPR and First-Aid training. I am healthy and of sound mind. Still, I am open to any health testing or screening you may require prior to working in your household.

I have full previous employment references that you can also verify. You may contact me at 555-8970 for an interview. I am very open to meeting you to discuss any concerns you may have.

Sincerely,
Lisa

Coverletter for Special Needs Therapist

Dear Ma'am:

Having worked in two playschools as the resident Special Needs Therapist, I was quite excited to learn from Miss Rita Loos that you have an opening for a Early Childhood and Special Needs Teacher at the Jungle Gym Community of Small Learners. I would very much like to be considered for the position and I feel qualified for several reasons.

According to Miss Loos, you are interested in incorporating educational objectives into play programs. I am not only committed to such an approach but, as my enclosed resume illustrates, I have had the opportunity to be part of such programs. Children, teachers and parents were all enthusiastic about how educational yet captivating these sessions turned out to be, and I thoroughly enjoyed both planning them and working with the children. I am also a degree holder in early childhood and special needs education. I have also cared for and supervised language therapy sessions for children with autism and ADHD.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss these and other experiences with you and to find out more about Jungle Gym. I would like to know more about your teaching objectives and methods. Would it be possible to meet with you some time next week?

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
Therapist Applicant
