Application for temporary assistant in child care

Dear Mme Low

Currently, I am a student who finished my A levels in 2008 and am to begin my
university studies in Australia beginning in July of this year. As I have had an extensive
background in Sports training through my participation in inter-school competition in
Track and Field and I am about to embark on a Human Movements Degree, I feel I would
be well qualified to assist the teacher in charge in planning and implementing a
programme to assist the physical development of her charges.

My name is Milak Dalvi and I wish to apply for the temporary position of Assistant to the
Teacher for the Physical Education Programme at Treasure Box advertised on Saturday
21 March 2009 in The Straits Times.

.
Within my only family, I have two siblings both in primary school, who I have supervised
often when my parents have been at work. I enjoy working and playing with younger
children and have been often recognized by members of my family for the patience and
care I have taken with my younger cousins and children of family friends.
I have also worked with younger children in a coaching capacity when I assisted the
Physical Education teacher in the development of the Track and Field team at Tamasek
Primary School for the period of 2007-2008.

In conclusion, I hope my interest in the work, my experience in the field and availability
will impress upon you my suitability for such a position and that I may be hearing from
you in the near future to arrange an interview.

As the position is only for a period of three months while the permanent assistant is away
on leave, I feel that the position is suited to someone like me who is not looking for a
permanent situation. I also live in close proximity to the Childcare Centre should you
need to call on me at short notice for other duties.

Yours sincerely

Malik Dalvi
