Excuse Letter for Being Absent from Work due to the Childcare

Absence Excuse Letter due to Childcare

Letters Kate

If you have kids, you know that any incident can occur anytime. If all guardians work, then one must get some holidays from work if a child needs to be cared for. This is if you do not have any other option. To do this you will need to give an excuse letter for being absent from work due to childcare.

What is an excuse letter to be absent to take care of a child?

There are many instances when one is forced to be absent from work. One of these is if your child needs some care due to something happening to them. For this, you must submit an excuse letter to tell your employer that you must be absent from work to care for your child.

How important is a letter?

This letter is needed so that your employer can arrange your absence without causing any disturbance to the running of the place. It is a professional way to tell your boss why you must be absent.

How to create the letter?

You need to know how to create this letter to do it perfectly and formally. You can look at the below tips to get some ideas:

  1. Microsoft Word: Choose Microsoft Word to type the letter in. This is because the letter can be made professionally over here.
  2. Include relevant details only: Do not make the letter long with much detail. Simply inform your employer that your child is ill and needs you to care for them. Tell the boss that no one else can take care of the child, so you need to do it yourself. Include the dates that you will be absent.
  3. Apologize and offer help: I apologize for any inconvenience your absence will cause. Inform the employer that you are willing to help in any way possible so that no disturbance happens.

When your child is ill and needs care, you are already tense. Do not make it more hectic by forgetting to inform your workplace.

Re. Please excuse my absence due to childcare

Dear Jeffery,

It is conveyed to you that I cannot appear at the office due to my childcare at home. I am a senior finance manager in your company and I have a kid of three years who is alone at home today. His mother has a business meeting in Houston; the grandmother is suffering from an ailment, so there is no one to take care of him. Being his father, it is my complete responsibility to stay with him. I have also tried contacting his uncle, who is busy with work. So, it is obligatory for me to stay with the child and look after him. I had to provide for him by driving to and from school, and then I had to stay with him all day.

I shall work from home as I know the workload is increasing daily in the office, but I cannot attend the meeting with the SHELL Rags Groups. I shall be available for work via email and phone as [X]. You know, a father cannot rush from his responsibilities at home. I hope you understand my preoccupation and reservation and allow me one day off working from home.

I shall be grateful to you

Sincerely,

(Signature)
