Dear Future Host,

My name is Lindsay, and I’m a college student from Connecticut, currently preparing to graduate and excited for the next chapter of my life. I’m passionate about working with children, learning from different cultures and families, and creating genuine connections through shared experiences.

I’m applying to become an au pair because I love the idea of combining my experience in childcare with the opportunity to immerse myself in a new environment—whether that’s abroad or somewhere new within the U.S. I studied abroad during college and absolutely loved it. It opened my mind to different ways of life and taught me the value of cultural exchange and personal growth through hands-on experiences. I am also excited to bring my culture to new families as I am extremely passionate about the way I grew up!

I believe I would be a great fit for your family because I’m dependable, kind, and eager to help. I bring years of experience caring for children of all ages—from 6 months to 15 years old—including those with special needs. I’ve worked as a full-time summer nanny, babysat for many families, and I’m confident in my ability to be both nurturing and responsible. I also enjoy helping with daily routines, light housework, and cooking.

This opportunity is meaningful to me not just as a job, but as a chance to be part of something bigger—supporting your family while growing and learning in return.

Warmly,
Lindsay
