Dear Host Family,

My name is Mónica Sofia, I’m Portuguese, 26 years old, and I’m a caring, responsible, and curious person by nature. I have a genuine passion for children and believe in the importance of providing them with a safe, loving, and stimulating environment.

I want to become an au pair because I see this as a unique opportunity for personal and cultural growth. The idea of living with a new family, learning about your customs, and sharing my own Portuguese culture truly excites me. I believe this exchange enriches both the host family and the au pair.

I believe I would be a great fit for your family because I am dedicated, empathetic, and adaptable. I have over 5 years of experience caring for children of different ages, from newborns to pre-teens. I’m comfortable with routines, helping with homework, preparing simple meals, and creating educational and creative activities. I’m also happy to assist with light household tasks and to adjust to your family’s daily needs.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, cooking, playing online video games, going for nature walks, and exploring different cultures through music, films, and languages. These hobbies keep me open-minded, creative, and active — qualities I bring to my daily interaction with children.

Being an au pair is more than just a job for me: it’s the chance to become part of a new family, to create meaningful memories, and to make a positive impact in the lives of children. I’m ready to give my best and live this experience with joy, responsibility, and dedication.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you soon.

Warm regards,
Mónica Sofia
