Re: Application for a Spring/Summer Nanny/Childminder To Whom It May Concern, Please accept this cover letter and curriculum vitae for a position as a Summer Housekeeper/Childminder position that may arise from April until August 2018 in the Dublin area. At present, I am undertaking my duties as a part-time, Homecare Assistant with a company entitled Home Care Plus in Dublin. I am completing my third year of a four-year Social Care Practice course. Currently, I am finalising my second term of work placement with Tusla (The Child and Family Agency). The student work placements have been valuable learning experiences in incorporating my skills and qualities such as teamwork, active listening, communication, critical-thinking, empathy, non-judgemental and advocacy. As you will see from my Curriculum Vitae I have over six years of experience working as a Childminder/Nanny. I started working as a babysitter from the age of fourteen and have worked with many different families and children from the age of eight months up to sixteen years of age in Ireland. Three years ago I travelled to Vancouver, Canada to experience life as a Childminder/Nanny. While I was residing in Vancouver I gained valuable experience from working with two different families with young children from the age range of nine months up to three years of age. From working with many different families and children I have gained experience both in Ireland and Canada from feeding, tantrums, development, behaviour management, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), boundaries, daily routines, and household duties. When I started working as a Childminder/Nanny I enjoyed it, as I am a very caring, loving, calm, reliable, punctual, honest, patient, fun and hardworking person, all the qualities to be a fantastic Childminder/Nanny. In particular, it was rewarding to me while working with children and taking them out to places such as play gyms, library’s, arts and crafts and parks. In particular, I enjoyed teaching young children how to count numbers, colours, animals, and manners while keeping to the daily routine of meal and nap times. My most important duty while working as a Childminder/Nanny was to ensure that the children were safe, protected and having fun while in my care. While the children napped I completed household chores and prepared nutritious meals for the next few hours/next day. Currently, I have an up to date first aid and CPR certificate, clean Irish car license, and recent Garda Vetting. My skills include team player, listening, effective housekeeping and errands, hands-on experience in all aspects of preparing meals and snacks for the children, verbal and written communication skills, capable of merging enjoyable and life-enriching experiences into everyday moments and proven record in transporting children to and from school including other activities throughout the day. The qualities I seek in a family are respect and a safe working environment. I will be thankful for the chance of a personal meeting to discuss how my experience and expertise would be valuable as a Childminder/Nanny.
