Child Carer Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the past three years looking after small groups of kids and helping them settle into routines. In my last role I worked with up to eight children a day and helped plan activities that kept them engaged for long periods. I also prioritised safety and clean habits, and I can bring that steadiness to [Company Name]. I’ve found that clear, calm supervision and practical routines make a real difference in how kids respond and learn. I bring solid skills in reading aloud, game facilitation, and activity planning, and I’m comfortable supervising hygiene and daily routines. I can adapt activities to different ages and energy levels, keep records of what’s working, and communicate with parents about progress and concerns. I’m keen to contribute to a team that values patience, safety and gentle guidance for social development. At [Previous Company], I led a daily sequence of structured play and quiet time that significantly improved kids’ ability to transition between activities. One group started with resistance during group games, and over a fortnight I helped them learn turn-taking and gentle conflict resolution through supervised games and shared materials. The improvement was noticeable in their cooperation and overall mood, and I saw fewer incidents during afternoon calm-down. I’d welcome the chance to discuss how I can support [Company Name] and the children there. I am available for a chat this week and can adjust to your roster. Kind regards, [Your Name]
