Laura Alejandra (24 / Ms. ), Colombian, living in Colombia looking for Au Pair job in USA for 12-24 Months

Dear host family,
Hello, I'm Laura Alejandra, I'm 23 years old, and I'm from the city of Bogota, Colombia. I
grew up in this city, which is the capital of my country, it is a place with a very particular climate and
delicious food. I live with my mom and my cats and I am an only child. My mother studied at the National
Pedagogical University of Colombia and has a degree in Physical Education, for that reason since I was a child
I have been involved in sports activities and took several courses, one of them is swimming which I practiced
for the longest time. The most recent sport I did was tennis, I also did short courses in skating, basketball, and
volleyball.
I graduated from school in 2017 and began to study at the Mariano Moreno School of Gastronomy in 2019
here I studied as a labor technician in gastronomy and pastry, also thanks to the electives of the university I
have a certificate in drinks (coffees, wines, and cocktails). This technician had a duration of 2 years, but due to
the pandemic I had to postpone a semester, despite this at the end of May 2022 I obtained my degree. In the
professional field, my most recent work experience was at Juan Valdez where I learned to make different
kinds of drinks, this job taught me patience and kindness, even in difficult situations.
What can I tell you about myself? I am responsible, friendly, patient, and caring. I enjoy spending time with
my mom and my cousin we like walking, touring the city, and trying out new restaurants, I also like spending
time at home with my cats, taking pictures, and watching them sleep. I am an adventurous person and I like to
take on new challenges and learn new things about people and their cultures.
I like to dance, I think it's a great way to exercise and you can dance whatever you want, the important thing is
that you feel happy doing it. I also enjoy painting; it connects me with my creative part. In my free time I like
to read and take walks in nature, I do this to relax. And as I mentioned before I really enjoy doing sports like
swimming and playing tennis or doing pilates at home.
Another thing about me is that I obtained my driver’s license in 2023, and I have been practicing driving with
my mother ever since.
The reason why I decided to become Aupair is I want to have a positive impact on other people's lives,
particularly children. I want to be a support for them and help them feel confident, both on good and bad days.
Additionally, I am curious about their culture, such as traditional food, festivities, important sports, and the
music they listen to, including nursery rhymes and lullabies. I believe it's important to learn about different
cultures for both parties. I am excited, I know that this experience will enrich my background and I´ll learn a
lot. Likewise, I´d love to become a part of your family.
All the best for my future host family and thanks.
