Tilly (20 / Ms. ), English, Student living in United Kingdom looking for Au Pair & Nanny job in Italy for 1-3 months

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Tilly and I am 20 years old. I am in my first year at the University of Edinburgh studying Italian and History of Art. I love spending time with my friends, playing tennis, running, practicing yoga, drawing, painting, cooking visiting museums and galleries.

I would really enjoy the opportunity of being an Au Pair or Nanny because I love helping out and working with families with children of all ages. In 2019 I worked as a 'Labsitter' (English teacher) with Italian children in Florence; children from as young as 2 to as old as 16 for 3 months. I also babysat for a family once or twice a week. For 2 years at school, when I was 16-18 I was an assistant to a year 7 Biology class. I helped the children understand the content of their work and help them work through anything they were struggling with. I really valued getting to know the children and the parents of all the families I worked with and I would relish the chance to do so again this summer.

As an Italian student this would be the best experience and a great way for me to improve my Italian. In July and August I have an internship at the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice. I am very hardworking and always do things to the best of my ability. I am responsible, kind, helpful, thoughtful, efficient; all good qualities that suit Au Pair work perfectly. I am also super clean, tidy and very smiley!

I went to Sherborne Girls, an all girls boarding school in Dorset, England. At GCSE I achieved 9A* and at A Level A*AA in Chemistry, Geography and Art.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my application. I hope to hear from you!
