Band 7 Letter, You have seen an

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to express my interest in taking up the job as a nanny for your child for at least six months.

I am currently residing in New-Zealand with my husband. Recently, he has been transferred to Bahrain for a project that could last 6 to 12 months. He will be leaving shortly and I will be left alone, so I thought to apply for a job of my niche.

I have completed a diploma in childcare and primary education. Moreover, I have also worked in the childcare field for 6 years. In addition, I am a sincere and extrovert person, and I easily mingle with children which makes me an ideal candidate for this job.

Recently, my friend had moved to Australia. During the time off my work, I would like to visit her and also travel a few places around with her.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Brindha Siva.
