Dear Future Host Family,

My name is Michael, I’m 17 years old, and I come from Russia. I’m currently finishing school and looking forward to taking a meaningful step into a new chapter of life—one that allows me to explore new cultures, grow as a person, and contribute to the lives of others through real, human connection.

I am applying to become an Au Pair and Caregiver for the elderly because I genuinely enjoy helping people. I come from a big family and have always been surrounded by children—I have three younger siblings (two brothers and a sister) and many younger cousins I’ve helped care for over the years. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and the joy that comes from supporting someone’s growth and happiness.

In addition to childcare, I’m also very open to working with elderly individuals. I believe that spending time with older generations is not only meaningful but also important—they have so much life experience and wisdom to share. I would be honored to provide support and companionship, whether through conversation, daily routines, or simple kindness.

As your au pair or caregiver, I will bring a calm and respectful attitude to your home. I’m a good listener, adaptable, and take my responsibilities seriously. I speak Russian natively, English at a C1 level, and French at B1. I’m eager to improve my language skills and immerse myself in your culture, while also sharing a bit of my own. I enjoy reading, learning languages, swimming, and programming, and I’m always curious to learn something new.

I may not have official certifications, but I have real-life experience, a sincere desire to help, and a genuine interest in cultural exchange. I believe hosting me would bring a reliable, positive, and respectful addition to your household. I’m excited about the chance to grow together and make this experience special for both of us.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you and hopefully becoming a part of your family or support circle.
