'About Me...'

As a young, highly competent, passionate and experienced
childcare worker I would like to be considered a position with your family.

My name is Elena Linton and I am 17 years old from the Gold
Coast. I recently graduated high school and am now in my gap
year seeking more nanny work.

I currently hold my certificate III in Early Childhood Education
and Care along with my Blue Card and First Aid Certificate and
have 1.5 yeas experience as a nanny looking after a 6 month
old, 5 year old and 12 year old.

I am fun, loving, easy going, hard-working, mature, energetic
and outgoing and have a strong passion for kids. I do not
smoke or drink and will dedicate my time to your children in a
manner that will overly justify your faith in giving me the
opportunity. I absolutely love working with children and promise
to create a fun, loving atmosphere for your kids at all times. I
fully intend to become not only a great caregiver for your four
beautiful kids, but also a positive role model and a friend.

I live on the Gold Coast and would therefore intend to depart
Brisbane every Friday night after my shift and return home to
see my family for the weekend. I would then ensure my return
every Monday morning prior to the beginning of my shift.

I am very punctual, so lateness will not be an issue. If ever
required, I am more than happy to work on weekends on
request, however I would require adequate notice as i also do
nanny work over the weekends.

I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully becoming a
valued member of your beautiful family.
