Early Childhood Educator in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

Minkyung Kwon (Wendy) 2115 Cumberland Avenue South Saskatoon, SK S7J 1Z3 306 8... [email protected] August 14, 2016 To whom it may concern, I would like to be considered for the position of full time early childhood educator in a day care centre. I have worked and volunteered in the field of teaching for several years since I was in university. This experience will contribute substantially to successfully teaching and taking care of children. To complement that, I have worked as a volunteer, an assistant and a main teacher, and I also have worked in several organizations, daycare centers, kindergartens and schools in countries other than Korea. Based on that career, not only will I adapt myself to new circumstances in the day care centre, but also develop myself to be a better teacher unifying all of my invaluable experience. Furthermore, I was able to teach children art as I had learned it, even though it was not my major. I am not an artist but an art person, therefore I can provide my students with activities to enhance their creativity and imagination. In addition to those, I believe that I can have a beneficial influence on the centre as I am sociable and self-motivated. Lastly, I would welcome the opportunity for a personal interview to further discuss my other qualifications. I am available for interview appointment at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you for your consideration. Faithfully, Minkyung Kwon 1.
