Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Lea, I am 19 years old, and I will be graduating this summer from a social science high school, where my major subject is psychology. I have always been interested in working with children, and I would love to take the opportunity to gain valuable experience as an au pair – both in childcare and in cultural exchange.

I already have experience in childcare. Through several internships in schools, I have gained insight into working with children of different age groups. Additionally, I often take care of my younger cousins and have always been responsible for my younger siblings. Growing up in a family environment has taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and providing loving care for children.

Spending six months in another country would not only allow me to explore an amazing country but also to further develop my skills in childcare. I am an open-minded, responsible, and reliable person who enjoys taking on new challenges. I am excited to experience new cultures and family life firsthand while supporting the family I stay with to the best of my ability.
