Dear Elsie,
I read your job alert for a new caregiver position at your company with great interest and believe I am perfect for the position.
My own caregiving journey began with an accident that left my son paralyzed and unable to look after himself. I became his primary caregiver and the focus of my life. Without the knowledge and skills, I was not able to deliver the care I thought was necessary for him. Because of this I undertook a National Caregiver Certification Course through the American Caregiver Association to make sure I had the right skills and qualifications.
Unfortunately, my son died this year and I have decided that caregiving is an area that I would like to devote my life too. This is why I am applying to your company because I am interested in offering my experience and skills to aiding the lives of the people you provide care too.
My approach to caregiving comes from a very personal place and I always attempt to make a connection with the person who needs care and put their needs and requirements first.
Having researched your company, I am impressed by the care you provide and your encouragement for your caregivers. I also believe this is the perfect environment for me to progress in caregiving and that I would be a valuable addition to your caregiving team.
I would love the opportunity to discuss the role with you further and explain my experiences in more detail. I am available for a conversation at any time.
Thanks for your time,Kind Regards,Mary Madson
