· My name is Jennifer Lowry and I am applying for the job of care partner/caregiver. It is with a strong desire to care for others that led me to the field of caregiving over 10 years ago. From a distance, I have long admired caregiving for the dedication and commitment to excellence to the health and care of others in the field of healthcare.
· In my own work as a caregiver, my patients have truly appreciated the high level of care, ability to meet their needs, and attention to details I bring to them on a daily basis. It is with these traits that I feel I would be an excellent fit for the position of care partner/caregiver. With my experience, dedication, and passion for caregiving, I would meet or exceed the level of excellence companies expect from their employees.
I would very much like to discuss opportunities with your company. To schedule an interview, please call me at 1-818-625-2604. You can leave a voice message at any time, and I will return your call.
Thank you for taking the time to review my resume. I look forward to talking with you.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Lowry
