Read and answer

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Johnson,

My name is Emma Brown, and I am a 14-year-old student from our neighbourhood. I am writing to apply for a babysitting opportunity in your family. I am responsible, reliable, and enjoy spending time with children.

I can help with homework, play games, prepare simple snacks, and make sure your children are safe and happy while you are away. I have experience looking after my younger brother, so I understand how important it is to be patient and caring.

I am available during evenings and weekends, and I can adjust to your family’s schedule. I always try to create a positive and fun atmosphere for kids.

Thank you for considering me for this role. I would be happy to meet with you to discuss your needs and how I can help.

Sincerely,
Emma Brown
