Dear Care.com Human Resource Manager, I am a fully qualified childminder with more than 10 years of experience. I think that my effective leadership and problem solving abilities will make me an excellent candidate for it. Valued for my dependability and sound judgement, I have become the weekend and date night childminder of choice for several families in my home country before getting to Scotland. I strive to provide a warm, fun and nurturing environment in all childminding assignments. My goal is for parents to experience worry-free time away from home knowing that their children are in competent hands. I wish to help the people and I believe that you can provide me an opportunity to work with your team. I look forward to meeting you in person and have a further discussion regarding the responsibilities of the applied post. Elizabeth
