Dear Miss Effort, coordinator of the babysitter company.

Hello, my name is Michelle Alejandra Pimentel Cardoso, I am 17 years old. Actually, I am studying high school with one of the best greats of the class. I am writing because I would like to apply for a job in your company as babysitter.

When I was fourteen years old, I began to practice with my own brother because my mother was studying in other city and my father was working all day. We were living this situation a few months.

Years later, my coach had baby triplex, it was complicated for her to take care of them so I propose her to help with the babies, she agree, for three months I help to carry after them.

Nowadays, my cousin have a baby girl and I take care of she on the weekends, I'm completely ready to work in any hour and day.
