Re: Child Development Assistant Instructor Position

The Teacher Assistant position for your center should be an individual who is
passionatepossessing the ability to energize, inspire, and motive others to realize
and strive for excellence even at a young age. Matching those qualities, it is why I
believe I am the perfect candidate for this role.
As the current volunteer/student for a preschool classroom I have the privilege of
being responsible for the development not just of creative activities that support the
overall monthly curriculum themes; parental involvement workshops; and character
building exercises. The population that I serve includes underprivileged at-risk
youth ages 3-7 years old and their staff. Informally, I have been tending to the
needs of children since I was a teenager. As a result, I am certified in child CPR and
First Aid
Additionally, I am at the end of a degree program that will give me license to play a
more critical role in the development of a childs social, emotional, and educational
needs while providing a firm foundation that will set the stage for their long-term
academic success. I am now equipped in effective techniques to supervise youth
from newborn to eight years old. The program has also allowed me practical
experience in a real-world licensed childcare center. I believe as a result of the
training received I now possess both the professional knowledge and the internal
desire to provide an environment where children can learn, grow, and develop.
In short, the students registered with your childcare centers well as all associated
staff and community partners will be gaining an empathetic and reliable
professional who firmly believes that the children are the future and assist in the
development of children from conception to adolescence. I am readily available for
an in person meeting to further discuss my qualifications. I can be reached via
email or by phone. Thank you in advance for your kind consideration.
Warmly,
Sharayil Ignatius
