Letter to the family
Dear [Host Family's Name],
My name is Susanna, and I am thrilled to apply for the opportunity to become an Au Pair with your family. I am 19 years old and come from sweden. I have a deep passion for working with children, and I am excited about the possibility of joining your household and becoming a part of your children's lives.
My experience with children is both extensive and diverse. I have babysat my neighbors' children, gaining valuable experience in caring for kids of different ages. Additionally, I have played a significant role in looking after my younger brother, which has taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, and creativity in engaging with children. I have also been actively involved in supporting a family member during pregnancy, where I learned how to change diapers, feed infants, and provide essential care for newborns.
n addition to my personal experience, I have completed a practical placement in a kindergarten, where I had the opportunity to work closely with young children in a structured environment. This experience allowed me to develop my skills in organizing activities, managing groups, and understanding the developmental needs of children. Furthermore, I have taken the initiative to organize activities for children in segregated neighborhoods, aiming to create fun, educational, and inclusive experiences for kids who might not always have access to such opportunities. These activities have helped me understand the importance of adaptability, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to connect with children from diverse backgrounds.
I am eager to become an Au Pair because it represents a unique blend of cultural exchange and childcare, both of which I am passionate about. I look forward to immersing myself in your culture, learning from your family, and sharing my own experiences and traditions with you. This role also offers a fantastic opportunity for me to further enhance my language skills and expand my understanding of different cultures. I speak three languages fluently—Spanish, English, and Swedish—which will allow me to communicate effectively with your family and help your children learn and appreciate new languages as well.
I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family because of my dedication, reliability, and genuine love for working with children. My experience in both personal and professional childcare settings has prepared me to take on the responsibilities of an Au Pair with confidence. I am committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where your children can thrive. My experience in organizing activities, both in kindergartens and for children in underprivileged areas, has equipped me with the creativity and resourcefulness needed to keep children engaged and happy.
Thank you for considering my application. I would love the opportunity to discuss how I can contribute to your family and become a trusted and caring companion to your children.
warm regards,
susanna
