Dear host family,

My name is Marcela, I am 28 years old and I am Brazilian, with a degree in Civil Engineering. I have always been very close to my family and, over the years, I have developed a great affection for taking care of people — especially children and the elderly. I grew up helping to take care of my nephews and cousins, and I also had the joy of closely watching and lovingly caring for my grandmother, which taught me valuable lessons about empathy, respect and, above all, patience — one of my greatest qualities.

I decided to participate in the au pair program because I believe that this experience goes far beyond a job opportunity: it is a chance to experience a true cultural exchange, create emotional bonds and develop personally. I am very interested in getting to know new places, immersing myself in a new culture, improving my English and, at the same time, contributing all my affection, responsibility and dedication to the well-being of your family.

I am a calm, reliable and organized person, with a lot of experience in taking care of children and the elderly. I have an ease in dealing with different situations, always trying to act calmly and sensitively. I am also very active and passionate about physical activities — I practice CrossFit, volleyball, swimming and running, which helps me to stay motivated and in a good mood on a daily basis. If your children like to move around, play outdoors or play sports, I will be more than ready to accompany them with great joy!

I believe that I can contribute in a very positive way to your routine, offering not only care and responsibility, but also lightness, energy and a welcoming presence. It would be an honor to be part of your family and to live this experience in a respectful, loving and committed way.

With love,
Marcela Vaz.
