Good job on saying why you want this job and how you will spend your time. You cover the main points but three small facts would help. Also fix easy grammar errors.

coherence

Your writing is one long block. It is best to make 3 short parts: 1) why you apply; 2) why you are good for the job; 3) how you will spend time in Australia. Use words like First, Next, Finally.

editing

Watch small mistakes. Check spaces and marks. Use six-year-old with no extra space and use 'skills' if you mean more than one skill.

tone

Polite tone and clear aim to learn about new culture.

Care work with sisters shows you can be trusted with kids.

Use a variety of complex and simple sentences

You should use complex sentences in your writing, but it does not mean that you should try to make all of our sentences complex.

‘Complex’ sentences are not actually very complex; they are just two or more simple sentences put together. Putting them together makes the essay more coherent and cohesive.

Examples:

I really want to study but I’m too tired.

I wore a warm coat because the weather was cold.

If action is not taken soon on climate change, global warming will get worse.
