I am applying for the position of a baby sitter on a reliable, well known sitter website. I am emailing the person in response to an ad that they put out. Here is my letter that I am sending her. Does this sound okay?

Hi ———-,

My name is Theresa ——— and am a student at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I’m interested in the position of baby sitter for your 3 year old and 18 month old twin girls. I am available on Saturday and Sunday mornings from 6:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. I have experience working with children. I was a summer camp counselor at Sangrock Black Belt World, located in Matthews, N.C. I worked with children ages 3-6. As a camp counselor, I organized age appropriate games for the children, some of which included age-appropriate physical fitness games while others were more focused on values such as self-control, self esteem, etc. I also organized crafts for the kids. Besides for working with young children, I also occasionally work with school age children when I help out during the regular classes offered at the school. I have experience working with children in a one on one setting, but also have experience working with multiple children.

I have my own transportation, am not a smoker, and have a flexible schedule. I can prepare meals for your children as well as help with the laundry and dishes. I am a baby sitter certified by the American Red Cross and I am also CPR certified. I am dependable and am on time. I would be happy to speak with you so that you can get to know me better. My cell phone is ————-. I can also provide you with my own personal email, if you prefer to contact me that way.

I hope you had a good holiday and have a happy new year!

Sincerely,
Theresa ——-
Steven, could you at least tell me why?
