Dear Host Family,

My name is Maria Eduarda, I’m 29 years old and currently living in Brazil, close to the beautiful beaches of Olinda. I’m a trained nurse, and at the moment, I’m taking a post-graduate course in advanced aesthetics. I’m passionate about childcare, education, and creating safe, nurturing spaces for children to grow.

I decided to become an Au Pair again because I genuinely love being part of a child’s everyday world — their laughter, their questions, their discoveries. I had the opportunity to work as an au pair in the United States from 2019 to 2020, and it was a life-changing experience. While it had its challenges, the bond I formed with the children I cared for was something I carry with deep affection to this day. That connection is what brought me back to this path, now with more maturity, empathy, and a clearer sense of purpose.

I believe I would be a great fit for your family because I’m calm, creative, responsible, and emotionally intuitive. I understand the importance of communication, routine, and patience in a household with children. I love baking, crafting, reading stories, and I truly enjoy finding joy in the little things — something kids are masters at.

You should host me because I’m not just looking for a job; I’m looking for a meaningful exchange. I want to be present in your children’s daily lives, support their learning, share laughter, and create memories together. At the same time, I’m excited to learn from your family, culture, and way of life.

I qualify for this position not only because of my professional background and previous au pair experience, but also because I’m deeply committed to providing care with affection, respect, and responsibility. I believe that children deserve to feel safe, seen, and celebrated every day — and I would be honored to be part of that in your home.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I’m looking forward to possibly getting to know you better and becoming part of your family’s story.

Warm regards,
Maria.
