Dear Sir or Madam,
Referring to your advertisement in the magazine, I am writing to you in order to make clear my eagerness to take
this
job. As I am an international student I have to support my expenses and the cost of living here; However
, I need to improve my English while
living with a native family and enjoy playing with your child and looking after him/her.
Moreover
, In these years I am studying for my master's in Nursing. Also
, I have 1 year of experience working in a kindergarten in my own country, Additionally
, I have a certificate for attending week-long Babysitting tips in UK summer camps.
At last
, I would like to add my favourite things to do in my free time which can be done with your child too; such
as swimming, reading story books and watching animations.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours sincerely,

The Greeting
Depending on the style and aim of the letter, you will need to adapt your greeting.
Always start an informal letter in the ways:
- Dear + name
- Hi / Hello + name
‘Dear...’ is more appropriate, so stick with this.
For a formal letter there are two options for the greeting:
- Use Dear Sir or Madam if you don’t know the name of the person you are writing to.
- Use Dear + surname if you do know their name, e.g. Dear Mr Smith or Dear Mrs Jones.
