Dear Hiring Professionals,
My name is Ilse Serrato and I am interested in becoming an Afterschool Program
Coordinator at Peacock Acres. I learned about the position through a friend, Jasmine Flanagan,
and I feel I am the right candidate for your team. As a program teacher at the NSA Child
Development Center, I have gained experience working with young children, which has made
me a responsible, attentive and patient person. This job has made me organized since I have
scheduled daily activities for children to meet and goals to accomplish for the week. I also
understand that each person is different and I have learned to move on each childs own pace. I
want to radiate a positive energy to the adolescents in Peacock Acres by being interested in their
lives and being a person they can count on.
I will be graduating with my B.A. in Psychology in May of 2015 and my goal is to
inspire an adolescent. I want to show them there is hope in life and that not everything is as
horrible as it seems. I understand many of the children in foster care are experiencing hardships
because it is hard to be separated from their parents, but having a positive and reliable support
system can make a difference in that persons life. I want to be that positive adult to help guide
and encourage them to strive for higher education and a better future. I am observant and detail
oriented and always try going above and beyond what is required because I am a passionate
worker and care about what I do.
Thank you for your consideration,
Ilse Serrato
