the University of Sydney.
In addition
to the fact that Burmese is my native language, I have experience in teaching
children
. As I love teaching, I worked part-time in a tuition centre to teach
children
.
Moreover
, as I have been living in Australia for about three years now, I am fluent in English. I believe that I am suitable for
this
job for these reasons. I can
also
babysit them after the teaching session if both of you are away, at an additional cost. I love
children
and enjoy playing with them. I used to babysit my nephew for half a year when I was in Burma. As I am free on the weekends, I would like to earn extra to save up for my master degree.
Therefore
, I would really appreciate it if you could offer
this
job to me. I will ensure that your
children
enjoy learning my native language and spending time with me. I look forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully,
Thida
