Brief an die Gastfamilie
Hello, I'm Aslı Ecem, a 22-year-old from İzmir, Turkey. I recently graduated with a degree in business administration. This period in my life marks a significant change and a brand-new beginning. As I navigate my future anxieties, I'm looking for an opportunity to grow in a different culture while making a meaningful contribution.
This search led me to your advertisement because I'm curious about life, open to learning, and responsible. I'm not just looking for a job; I'm seeking a peaceful and warm home environment where I can feel I belong, built on mutual love and respect.
Why I Want to Be a Home-Sharer with Seniors
The concept of home-sharing with seniors is more than just a position for me; it's an opportunity to form deep human connections. Growing up, respect and love for our elders were always a significant part of my culture. Learning from their vast experiences, listening to their life stories, and providing even a small convenience in their daily lives would bring me immense happiness.
I see how prevalent loneliness is in society, and I genuinely desire to bring joy and support into someone's life with my energy, sincerity, and positive approach. For me, this role is less of a "task" and more of a valuable life experience and an opportunity for mutual sharing.
I believe I'm a strong candidate for this position and should be welcomed into your home. I always approach life with a sense of responsibility, diligently and thoroughly completing assigned tasks. I understand how critical trust and order are in this role. I'm well aware of the importance of empathy and patience when communicating with older individuals. I strive to be sensitive to their needs, listen sincerely, and understand them, and I can remain calm even in challenging moments.
For instance, my field experience at "Ünlem Sigorta" and my academic background have helped me develop strong skills in connecting with people and expressing myself clearly. I'm also a good listener, which is crucial for fostering meaningful conversations with seniors. I enjoy helping others and have a solution-oriented and proactive approach. I'm ready to do my best to make your daily life easier, whether it's assisting with light housework, helping with meal preparation, going grocery shopping, or perhaps even providing support with simple technological matters. I adapt easily to new environments and have great respect for different cultures. While bringing new things from my own culture, I will also genuinely enjoy learning about yours, and I believe this mutual interaction will bring joy and richness to your home. Finally, this position is not just a job for me; it's a conscious and valuable step I'm taking to gain self-confidence, acquire new skills, become financially independent, and build meaningful relationships. This is an important "Plan B" for me on my path forward.
I sincerely wish to have the opportunity to embark on this special journey with you and enrich each other's lives. I believe I will bring sincerity, joy, and trust to your home.
