Dear Host Family,

I am writing to express my keen interest in becoming an Au Pair in your family. My name is Victoria, and I am a 23-year-old Venezuelan native. I have been living in Toulouse, France, for the past 10 months as an Au Pair,but currently my contract with my family is about to end (last week of June), so I am looking for my next family.

My passion for languages and working with children has led me to pursue a career in education. I hold a degree in Modern Languages and have gained valuable experience as a preschool assistant, teaching English to young children. The year I have been in france has helped me to improve my france skills although I still make mistakes, I can hold conversations.

I am a highly motivated and responsible individual who enjoys building strong connections with others. I am patient, caring, and have a natural ability to connect with children of all ages. I am also very adaptable and eager to learn new things.

As an Au Pair, I am eager to:

Provide high-quality care: I am committed to creating a safe and nurturing environment for your children, fostering their growth and development.

Share my culture: I am excited to share my Venezuelan culture with your family through music, food, and traditions.

Learn about your culture: I am eager to learn about your family's traditions, customs, and language.

Become a part of your family: I am looking for a placement where I can build strong bonds with your family.

I believe that my experience, skills, and enthusiasm make me an ideal candidate for your family. I am confident that I can contribute positively to your home and provide your children with enriching experiences.
Thank you for considering my application. I have attached my resume for your review and would be happy to provide you with any additional information you may require.

Other useful information:
-I am comfortable with domestic animals.
-I know how to swim and ride a bicycle.
-I have a driver's license, but I only drive automatic cars, however I am open to the idea of learning manual. My residence -permit expires in the first week of October.
-I don't smoke and I don't have any health problems.
-I don't have any specific dietary requirements.
-I can help children prepare healthy and simple recipes.
-I am open to traveling or going out with the family on weekends, provided I am informed and can organize myself in advance.

As this would already be my third family, I have some expectations to guarantee a good experience without complications:
-A kind and respectful family that wishes to integrate me into their family activities and does not consider me solely as help.
-Being able to speak Spanish or English with the children.
-Free weekends (Saturday and Sunday).
-A maximum working time of 25 hours per week, and if I work more hours, I hope to be compensated with days off or money.
-Accommodation + meals + hygiene products included.
-The possibility of attending French classes or having a sporting activity.
-Public transport covered (metro/train pass).
-Holidays according to current legislation.
-This point is important because I value my independence, having a space or an annex for myself, but if it's inside the house but exclusively mine, I am not closed to possibilities.

Sincerely,

Victoria.
