This letter is to express my interest and to share my passion in a caregiver position with children, elderly, or the disabled. I am currently looking for a casual position with a max of once a week on either an evening during the week or weekends. I am currently working as an LPN in family medicine and have experience specifically in maternity and pediatric nursing, as well as home care for ALS. I am also a Certified Holistic Nutritionist and love to cook. I have worked with a family as a caregiver for over a year for three children (2-6 years of age) as well as being their private chef. Previously I was with a Naturopathic clinic, Resonance Wellness that allowed me to expand my knowledge greatly in holistic health. The healthiest lifestyle possible is what I aspire to and the ability to influence another’s life and health with food is fascinating. I live to care for others and I do this very well. I bring confidence to the care I give and in turn make the recipient comfortable and at ease with my presence. I have also worked in a temporary position at the Creative Tree Early Learning Centre and enjoyed every moment by caring for and cooking for the children. I also have family and friends who I have cared for medically as well as on a daily basis in wheelchairs and feel self-assured with the care I give and am willing to go the extra mile to meet their needs in any way possible. In addition to the above mentioned experience, I have also worked a variety of professions - from retail, to clerical, to construction, to child care – which has given me a well rounded understanding of people and how to best serve them. I soak up information quickly and have the ability to think beyond the mundane and am always willing to learn more. I am a hard worker who is loyal to a job and have tremendous expectations of myself and will strive to achieve them. Thank you for your generous consideration. Please contact the number if you have any questions, or wish to schedule an interview. I hope to be hearing from you soon. Best regards, Jennifer
