Letter to the family
Dear Host Family,
My name is Agatha and I am delighted to introduce myself as a motivated and caring individual eager to join your family as an Au Pair and Nanny. I come from Spain and I am a 23 year old university student. I have a genuine passion for working with children, learning about new cultures, and creating meaningful connections with families around the world. I’m a native Spanish speaker, fluent in English as I lived in the USA when I was a little girl and I am currently learning German (A2 level). I would be thrilled to live with a local family to immerse myself further in the language and culture of the country. I’m currently studying International Relations so culture, languages and interacting with new people are some factors that I find extremely crucial and satisfactory.
Becoming an Au Pair is not just an opportunity for me to travel, it is a chance to be part of a family, contribute to a child’s growth and experience daily life in a new country in the most authentic way. I deeply value cultural exchange and believe that living with a host family while caring for their children is one of the most enriching experiences a young adult can have. This role allows me to combine my love for children with my desire to learn, grow, and explore.
I am a warm, responsible, and respectful individual who believes in building trust and open communication with my host family. I strive to create a safe and joyful environment for children where they feel loved, heard, and supported. I understand the importance of routines, education, and kindness in a child’s development. You can count on me not only as a caregiver but as a dependable addition to your household—someone who truly cares about your children’s well-being.
I bring with me several years of experience working with children of various ages, from babysitting younger cousins to volunteering in childcare programs to taking care and tutoring my youngest neighbours. I am confident in managing daily routines, organizing fun and educational activities, and helping with homework. I am also patient, adaptable, and always eager to learn from every new experience. Additionally and as I have mentioned before, I am fluent in Spanish, have a mastery level of the English language and have a basic understanding of German and am willing to improve it further to communicate effectively with your family. I could even teach languages to your children if you wish; I believe they could learn from me as much as I could learn from them.
Thank you for considering my application. I would be honored to be welcomed into your home and to be part of your children’s journey as they grow, play, and discover the world around them. I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you and hopefully joining your family soon.
Warmest regards,
Agatha
