Letter to the family

Hello, my name is Gemma! I am twenty-two years old and I grew up in California. I am about to graduate from University and I am looking to become an au pair in France to grow my French language skills. I have studied international relations for the past two years and aspire to do humanitarian aid work. I have taken some French classes and can read a bit of French but I am not conversational. The opportunity to learn French and become fluent is one of the things I am most excited about for becoming an au pair and it is very important to me.
I started babysitting when I was twelve years old and have continued to do so ever since. I have worked with babies as young as three months old and kids as old as sixteen. I primarily babysit for kids between the ages of three and seven. I began working as a sailing instructor when I was fifteen, teaching kids as young as seven how to sail small boats by themselves. Typically, I am leading a group of up to nine children through a two-week long all-day sailing class. I am responsible for their safety and teaching them while also making it fun! I am certified in CPR and basic first aid. love to be outdoors and you’ll often find me studying in my backyard or in cafés around town. I am a very calm, patient, level-headed person who is independent and responsible. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and family is very important to me. I love to be involved in my community and try to be kind and help others whenever possible.

Experience

I have never been an au pair before but the opportunity is very exciting to me. I love working with and being around kids. I also love to travel and live abroad. I spent a semester in Greece and I wished I had a host family to be more connected to everyday life in the community there. After talking with multiple former au pairs, I would like to find a family with well-defined expectations for an au pair relationship. I would love to form a close relationship with the family I am working for and I feel like having clear expectations of what our arrangement would look like and house rules will allow our relationship to flourish. I’d love to talk with you more about this and come to an arrangement that works well for all of us!
