Dear Ms. Wilson,

My name is Sofia Rose Jones and I am a 16 years old willing to babysit. I go to Crestview
Secondary School. After reading your poster around the neighborhood yesterday, I could not
resist sending you my application. You children sound like sweethearts. I would love to babysit
them. I have a lot of experience with babysitting children, I babysat my siblings. My mother is
always gone to work so I take care of them.

While babysitting, I will teach your children manners. My siblings are very troublesome but I
know what to do when children misbehave. I teach children to clean up after themselves.
Children I babysit never have complaints. Your children will never complain to you about me
either. They will feel like I am very close to them. Your children will never cry and they will be
fed when they are hungry.

I noticed you are looking for someone to babysit your children as soon as possible. So if you do
not mind I am ready to start babysitting them starting tomorrow. I have babysat almost my whole
life. I know exactly what to do when they are getting bored. They will not go on their devices too
much. I will teach them some really fun things to do not on devices. I will communicate with
them very well.

I would love to meet you in person and talk about babysitting you children. You can reach me at
604-555-0118 or by email at ​sofiajones@gmail.co​m. Since I still go to school, you can reach me
after 2:30pm. I look forward to hearing back from you. Thanks for considering me!

Sincerely,
Sofia Rose Jones

Hobbies/Interests
Can make extremely good food. Love trying to make food I have never made before.
When I make food, children love it without a doubt. Love to listen to music. It is like therapy for
me. Do not have trustworthy friends so I try to make new friends. Sometimes I have people over
trying to get to know them better. With family issues, I always try to keep my mind away from
those things. Now school is like a hobby to me.

About Me
Physical Description
I tried to make friends my whole life. Due to my short height and being overweight not many
people want to be my friends. I have had many friends but I have never had friends that had my
 back. When other girls would bully me my “friends” would back off and leave me. Other girls
would pick on me since I was overweight. I never say anything back since they were really
popular. I have always tried to fit in.

Socio-Economic Status
I am not very socio-economically responsible. I have never known what goes on in my society,
since I have always been into studying and school. I am always in my room, and I barely go
outside. Thus, I have decided to meet new people and start babysitting.

Clothing Style
I wear casual, baggy clothes trying to hide my overweight. Wearing oversized shirts, hoodies,
sweatshirts, and pants make me look less fat. I wear baggy clothes wherever I go such as at
home, school, and when I start babysitting. I feel insecure when I wear tight, fitted clothes.
Although almost all girls at school wear crop tops, or ripped jeans, I wear loose clothing so I do
not get bullied. However I do like wearing tight fitting clothes, I do not since I do not like people
making fun of me.

Musical Preferences
No matter how happy I try to be, I am always brought down by people. So to make myself a little
more cheerful I listen to music I can relate to. When others make fun of me I become negative
about myself. When I listen to relatable music I know I am not the only one going through life
problems like these. However I tend to never feel confident about myself for too long.

Friends
I have tried to make friends my whole life. I have made a few friends but they always leave me
when I need them. When other girls bully me my friends back off since they do not want to get
involved and get bullied themselves. I have always wanted to find friends that would take my
side but that has never happened. I do not like to get embarrassed in front of new friends I try to
make so I do not like it when children come to me when I have company over.

Aspirations
I have always wanted to be fit. I always looked up to models like Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid,
Rihanna and many more models. Although I want to lose weight, I am never able to succeed in
doing so. I cannot fulfill my goals in going to the gym everyday. I have tried to go to the gym but
come back home never wanting to go. I feel like people stare at me due to my weight. My goal is
to become a fashion designer in the future. I want to work with famous people so I can show
others what I am capable of.
