Letter to the family

My name is Mariana, and I am excited to introduce myself as a potential Au Pair for your family. I am 19, from Portugal, and I have always enjoyed working with children.
Becoming an Au Pair offers the chance to combine my childcare experience with cultural exchange, which I deeply value.
I am eager to immerse myself in your family’s daily life, share my own culture, and learn from yours in return. For me, this experience is not just about caring for children but also about fostering understanding, respect, and connection across cultures.

As the eldest child in my family, I have always been nurturing. I helped care for my younger sister, whether it was helping with homework, planning engaging games, or simply being there to listen.
I have developed a strong sense of responsibility and empathy, and I also spent summers looking after my twin cousins, managing activities, and routines, and ensuring their safety. These experiences taught me patience, proactivity, and creativity— qualities I bring to childcare.
I believe I would be a great fit for your family because of my caring and dependable nature. I am confident in creating a safe and supportive environment for children, and I look forward to contributing to your family’s daily life while sharing my culture and learning from yours.

Thank you for considering my application. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can support your family.

Experience

Although I haven’t worked formally as an Au Pair or Nanny, I have significant experience caring for children within my family. Being the eldest sibling, I naturally took on the role of caregiver for my younger sister, helping with her daily routines, schoolwork, and recreational activities. Additionally, every summer, I cared for my twin cousins, managing their schedules, planning engaging activities, and ensuring their safety and well-being. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in handling children.

I am currently teaching Mathematics, English, and Portuguese to a 14 year-old portuguese student, so I am capable of teaching and developing new skills for your children as well!

Becoming an Au Pair abroad appeals to me because it combines two passions: caring for children and exploring new cultures. I am eager to immerse myself in a new environment, learning from host family traditions while sharing my own. Working as an Au Pair provides the perfect opportunity to create meaningful relationships with children while supporting their growth in a positive and nurturing way.
