About Me

Cover Letter

Hi there, I want to present myself as well as my qualifications.I have 15 years experience and excellent references.
You will find all my information and contacts on my CV right bellow this letter.
I am a versatile individual who communicates with all age groups. Good at making friends as I can adapt and communicate with everyone. I am a confident, bubbly person, I love to enjoy myself and to be lively; I guess one of my main focuses is to have fun in life and I am friend and family orientated. I can also be very collected and on the ball, something I believe is a bonus and essential when working with children. I enjoy spending time with children outside of work as well as at work. I also like to participate into sports activities with them (e.g. tennis, cycling, swimming, etc…) I am naturally a very confident person. I find it easy to work with children. I can also comunicate with adults very comfortably; hopefully I will develop a strong relationship with you as well as your children.
I have excellent references to provide.
Please, feel free to contact me for any queries.
Thank you for this opportunity.
Best regards,
Sibel Aygun

Experience

FULL TIME SOLE CHARGE NANNY/ TODD FAMILY (2018-PRESENT
I have been working as a full time sole care position with 4 years old and 6 years old boys. When I started with the Todd family, the eldest was only 5,5 months old. I am still currently working with Todd family however the mother has now left her work so I’m now looking for a new family to start new chapter in my career development.
I looked after both boys since they were babies, always in the sole charge position and on average of 55h per week. During first year I worked as nanny share position for a year with another baby girl and both kids were around 9 months by then.

Both boys are super active and I organize all of their the daily activities from morning to evening, making sure they are very active and growing up confidently and happy.
Both boys are very independent, active and they are above their development level. During these years I completed my Maternity nurse Level 4 and I gained more experience with babies.

My other duties consist of helping with their homework and organizing different activities that make homework time more playful and fun. I also create new games and educational tasks to help the boys learn quickly. In doing this I explain with examples and take a more proactive approach. Since starting I focused on helping the boys overcome their shyness and make them more confident with others through lots of activities. This includes listening and understands their emotional needs so as to avoid stress in the learning process. Teaching about their responsibilities and to be organized for daily activities/school work has been an important focus.

Working with other child-minder network groups to build positive and professional relationships with parents/carers, schools, playgroups, toddler groups, children’s centers and other child-minders.
