About Me...
Dear Family,
My Name is courtney, I’m 20 years of age and currently studying naturopathy and completing a certificate III in individual support (both online), whilst also working a casual job. I am instinctively a very active person who spends most free time outdoors.
I am pleased to learn you’re in need of a live-in Nanny for your children as I believe my background and passion for working with children is exactly what you’re looking for. I am also prepared to start immediately.
My first Nannying experience was at 16 looking after three children aged 4, 6 and 12 whose parents ran a hotel. I then went on to obtain my working with children (blue) card and participated in work experience at a local childcare center in the 0-2 yr and 3-5 yr old rooms. During this time I was a volunteer life guard, this experience taught me essential first aid and safety training.
I’ve spent the last six year working in hospitality, which has given me the ability to gain outstanding time management and organizational skills as well as the capability to adapt to any given situation instantly.
Studying naturopathy has allowed me to become aware of the importance of sufficient nutrition and wellbeing in adults, children and infants, hence my ability to prepare nutritious and delicious meals for you and your children.
Aside from this, I believe my personal qualities make me a perfect fit for this role. I am naturally a nurturing and caring person who genuinely loves working with children and infants. Being the oldest of four children, I’ve learnt to become extremely patient, domesticated and cleanly.
I hope both this letter and my resume has left a positive impression that’s up to your families standard.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Employment
