Dear Host Family,

I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Maria Clara, I am 23 years old, and I am Brazilian. Currently, I live in Conceição de Macabu, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. I am very excited about the opportunity to apply to be an au pair in your family and would like to share a bit about myself, my motivations, and why I believe I am the right person for this role.

From a young age, I have always had a passion for working with children. I love spending time with them, helping them grow, learn, and develop. In addition, I consider myself a very responsible, caring, and empathetic person, essential qualities for caring for children with safety and kindness.

Though I have never been an au pair before, I have experience working with children in my hometown. I volunteered at a local preschool where I studied for six months, assisting teachers and staff in their daily activities. This experience allowed me to engage with young children, helping them with their schoolwork, organizing playtime, and ensuring their safety and well-being.

The reason I want to be an au pair is the opportunity to experience a new culture and become part of your family while providing all the necessary care for your children. I believe this experience will offer an enriching cultural exchange for both parties. I love learning new things, and being immersed in a different environment will allow me to expand my horizons and share a bit of my culture with you as well.

As your au pair, you can expect a committed and dedicated individual focused on the well-being of your children. I am willing to help with tasks related to them, as well as actively participate in family routines, respecting your rules and values.

I am eager to learn from you and share special moments as part of your family. I believe my flexible and adaptable personality will allow me to contribute positively to the family environment and build a strong relationship with your children.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce myself to you. I look forward to learning more about your family and am available to answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Maria Clara
