Feedback / Written References
To whom it may concern,
My name is Heidi Barker, I am writing this letter to recommend Sharon Atkinson for future baby-sitting work. Sharon has cared my 9 year old Son on various occasions for over 2 years. Throughout this time I have watched Sharon grow into a very mature young adult.
Some of the responsibilities given onto Sharon included, cooking dinners, going outside to play, putting my son to bed and general clean ups. Sharon takes a lot of pride in her work and I can see that she puts 100% into everything she does.
I felt so comfortable leaving my Son with a person who had such a fun and caring personality. If you are looking for a committed and trustworthy individual I definitely suggest Sharon as a key interest.
Thank you.

To Whom It May Concern,
Sharon Atkinson is a student studying a Bachelor of Psychology at the University of Canberra. I met Sharon earlier this year as part of the Career Trackers Indigenous Internship Program where I work as a Student Advisor.
Sharon is an active participant in our program which provides support and guidance to university students whilst simultaneously facilitating internship opportunities during their university breaks. I first met Sharon in March 2017 when she joined our program. Since then, I have had regular contact with Sharon in the form of monthly meetings on campus and regular phone conversations to provide support and coordinate Sharon’s first internship.
Sharon is a dedicated and fastidious student who is acting as a role model for her younger siblings. As the first in her family to attend university, Sharon is striving to achieve great things in her studies. In order to gain further professional experience, Sharon participates in corporate internships during her semester breaks. She completed her first internship at Nous Group Canberra in June/July 2017. She received amazing feedback from her team and has paved the way for other Indigenous university students at Nous Group Canberra. Sharon will return for an internship at Nous over her summer break and continue to participate in the CareerTrackers program during semester.
Whilst studying, Sharon also works as a youth worker in crisis accommodation support for young people suffering from homelessness. This is shift work that Sharon manages around her studies and usually results in her finishing work late at night.
Sharon uses her car to get to and from work but also to and from university as she lives outside Canberra in a small town, Sutton. I worry about the impact financial instability would have on Sharon’s studies.
Please contact if you require any further information.
Kind Regards,
Lily Brouwer-French
