Dear, To Whom It May Concern,
I am interested in employment as a Teacher’s assistant within the company for
an opportunity to utilize and challenge my skills as well as a chance for advancement. I’ve
always been told that I would make a great teacher because children love to be around me
and I work really well with them. So I decided to change up my career from nursing to
early childhood because when one route isn’t working out the way you want it to that’s
because something else is instore in which is better. It’s very rewarding to see the children
grow in many different ways by using their gross motor skills. The things that describes
me best is: professional at all times, compassionate, reliable, respectful, trustworthy,
understanding, goal oriented, helpful, a great listener as well as a excellent team player, a
hard worker, My number one priority is seeing to each child being able to learn in a way
that is fun as well as rewarding. Children to me are like flowers the more knowledge that
is instill into them in which is the water part, then the more they will continue to grow.
The most recent interactions that I’ve had with children was when I
completed my 30 hours of hands on field experience at Teddy Bear #2 in December 2015. I
volunteered at Pathways to Learning #2 from August 2010 - June 2013. I assisted with
setting up for class activities, interacting with the children, putting homework / messages
for the parents in each child’s folder, reading stories of the children’s choice, decorating
the classroom as well as bulletin board, participated in circle time, exploring through
making different foods as well as decorating them, chaperoned on field trips, assisted with
the setup as well as clean for holiday parties, and helping out in the parent meetings as
needed. Working with children comes natural for me especially since I have two of my own
that when play time hits the journey of learning with fun begins. It would bring me great
joy to provide children with the support, understanding, and knowledge they need to
progress onto the next level of learning.
The chance to work for this company as a Teacher’s Assistant would be an
excellent step towards me accomplishing my immediate and future career goals. Thank you
for your time and consideration. I'm looking forward to speaking with you soon.
