Dear Sir or Madam.
I am writing to apply for the position of part-time daycare centre assistant which was advertised on the college noticeboard. I am interested in this job since I enjoy working with children.
I am twenty-one years of age and am currently studying Child Psychology. In addition, I have a good command of both written and spoken English.
Despite not having any formal work experience in childcare, I have often done babysitting for neighbours and friends. I feel I would be well suited for this position as I am enthusiastic, energetic and creative. I also consider myself to be patient when dealing with young children.
I am available for work for up to 15 hours a week during the afternoons and would be glad to attend an interview at any time convenient to you.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
Eva Kowal
