Early Childhood Educator in Fernie, British Columbia

Wilkinson V. Occiano ...@gmail.com • 587-966-... April 10, 2025 Dear Hiring Manager, I am writing to express my interest in the Early Childhood Educator Assistant position at your organization. As an International Medical Graduate with experience as a clinical clerk and postgraduate medical intern, I bring a strong foundation in child development, health, and safety. In addition, I hold a BC ECE Assistant Certificate, FoodSafe Level 1, WHMIS certification, Health and Safety for Workers certificate, and a CELPIP CLB 9 English proficiency score—qualifications that prepare me well to support the learning, safety, and well-being of young children. My clinical background has provided me with hands-on experience working with children and families, particularly in pediatric and primary care settings. I’ve developed the ability to observe and respond to children’s needs with empathy, patience, and professionalism. I’ve also worked in dynamic environments where effective communication, attention to detail, and collaboration were essential—skills that are equally important in early childhood education. Being certified by the BC ECE Registry, I am prepared to assist lead educators in delivering engaging, age-appropriate activities while helping to maintain a safe, inclusive, and nurturing environment. My additional training in WHMIS and Health and Safety for Workers reflects a strong commitment to ensuring workplace safety for both children and staff. I am passionate about supporting the developmental needs of young children and contributing to a program that values creativity, curiosity, and emotional growth. I would be honored to join a team that shares this commitment and to play a role in helping children build confidence and essential life skills during their early years. Thank you for considering my application. I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how my background, training, and enthusiasm for early childhood education can contribute to your team. I look forward to connecting with you. Sincerely, Wilkinson V. Occiano
