Subject: Questions about the babysitting job for your 2 children

Hello, My name is Stacey Cord and I am the new baby sitter you hired. I am writing to you because I have a couple of questions. Firstly, I was wondering what date you would like me to start on? I am available any day after Friday, June 21st. Secondly, I would like to know if you would be against the idea of me taking your kids to the park when weather is permitting. Finally, I would like to know if you will be paying me weekly or biweekly. This will help me organise my spending allowance. Thank you very much for your time. Best, Stacey Cord Babysitter, ages 3-10
