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
