A sample Cover Letter for a Nanny, Governess or Babysitter- one who looks after the children.
Dear Miss Morris,
Greetings!
I would like to apply as a Nanny in your household. I am being referred by the Watkins Family. I have worked as a Nanny in the Watkins household five years ago taking care of their youngest, Edward. As you may know, Edward has been sent to the Boarding School at Rosey and the Watkins Family now no longer need my services.
I have heard that you are seeking to hire a full-time lived-in Nanny for your young children.
I believe my experience would be a suitable fit for your household. I am able to handle preparation of meals, bath time, school work and play groups. As a Nanny, I have a considerable understanding of play that is both stimulating and educational for the child. I am dedicated, loving and reliable. Attached are my references.
I'd be happy to visit your home any day next week to meet with you in detail about your requirements for the job. Please call me on my cell phone: 555-467-8008 for any concerns.
Sincerely,
Sally Parsons
