To whom it may concern:

i am interested in the job i saw postd in the lunchroom at jefferson high school. i’ve babysat neighborhood children a couple of times and i think it’d be fun to work in a preschool.

children seem to like me and i don’t mind hanging out with them. it’s pretty easy to keep them amused. i know that working at the preschool will be different than being in someones house, but i think i can handle it. i learn quickly and am pretty flexible about most things.

i’m looking forward to talking to you about this position. i can’t start until after the holidays, but i can work any afternoon except fridays.
