To the Dean of Students:

I am writing to introduce myself and my interest in the Early Childhood Education


Program at Baker College. I have researched and became familiar with this job through others
who encouraged me to pursue this pathway. My experience makes me an excellent candidate
for this position. I am encouraged to pursue a teaching degree, but for the time being I strive for
education to teach and help young children in their early years.

My past experiences and passion for working with children has driven me to pursue a
career such as Childhood Education. I feel well equipped with the skills I would need going
forward. In past years, I have worked with children at Little Sprouts Daycare, and regularly care
for children in many different homes and settings.

My studies at Covenant Christian High School has prepared me well to attend


Cornerstone College. They have prepared me to be organized and think logically in stressful
situations. Once again, I have many years of experience in dealing with children, and helping
them grow in their education.

I am looking forward to the road that lies ahead, and I thank you for your time and
consideration when looking at me as a possible candidate.

Sincerely,

Hannah Kamps

During the course of the last few months when all the covid issues were going on, I
stepped up as a leader at the daycare I worked at. There were many uncertainties that left the
whole situation to be difficult, and we worked as a team to insure the growth for children in that
atmosphere. I personally performed tasks that I usually wouldn't have done because the staff
was low and we needed to work all together.

One of my best qualities when dealing with children is being ober patient. One cant know
exactly what a child is going through in their lifetime, and it is important that I am patient even
though it may be difficult. An example of this would be, if a child struggled with anger outbursts
when something triggered them. Instead of placing them in timeout while they are still wailing, I
take the child one on one and talk things over to ensure the child he is loved and I am there to
help him through it.

In the world of a child they may be neglected, abused, or maybe it's as simple as ignored
by their parents. While working at a daycare many different families and children are part of the
community and not everyone is as loved and cared for as they ought to be. Therefore, this is an
opportunity to show the child that they are loved and cared for by their teachers, and no matter
what they will be safe within the building. If that means taking extra time to talk to them or play
with them, that is what I will do to show them that care and compassion. This is a small problem
or concern we face.
