Dear Host Family,

My name is Sindy, and it is with enthusiasm that I present myself as a candidate to be an au pair for your family. I'm excited about the possibility of sharing my passion for caring for children and contributing positively to your family environment.

I chose to be an au pair because I believe it is a unique opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture while sharing my own experience and love of childcare. From a young age, I developed a deep affinity for children, inspired by my professional and educational journey.

My professional experience includes two years working at NDI - UFSC (Child Development Center) in Brazil with children between 3 and 6 years old, including those with intellectual and physical disabilities, such as autism and cerebral palsy. Additionally, I worked as a full-time nanny for over a year, taking care of two children, ages 3 and 10. I also taught Portuguese, Literature and Writing for ages between 11 - 20 years old. These experiences provided me with essential skills in childcare, organization and patience, fundamental to the role of an au pair.

I have a degree in Literature, a master's degree in Linguistics with an emphasis on the acquisition and development of children's language. I recently completed a study in Forensic Linguistics in Portugal. I am currently living with my mother and sister in Spain, and I am in the process of obtaining a European passport.

I am a loving, calm, patient and playful person. I love preparing educational and recreational activities, playing outdoors, helping with schoolwork and preparing healthy snacks. I am fully committed to providing a safe, nurturing and nurturing environment for your children, promoting their integral development and well-being.

I believe your family should consider my candidacy because I am genuinely committed to providing the best care possible for children. My educational background, practical experience and interpersonal skills qualify me to be a dedicated and responsible au pair. I look forward to joining your family, learning from you and contributing in a positive way to your children's daily lives.

Thank you for the opportunity to consider my candidacy. I am available to discuss further how I can be a valuable part of your family as an au pair.

Yours sincerely,

Sindy Serafim.
