Letter to the family

Originally translated from Español
Dear Host Family:

My name is Valentina, I am 28 years old, and I am from Uruguay. I am a responsible, empathetic, and very caring person with children. For several years, I worked as an English teacher with students from 1 to 10 years old, in kindergartens and schools, developing fun, educational, and emotional activities that allowed me to create very special bonds with them. I truly enjoy spending time with children, supporting them in their development, and learning from their authentic way of seeing the world.

In 2025, I decided to leave teaching early so I could focus on a new life project: an Au Pair experience in Europe. I didn't want to commit to a new group of students, knowing that I could leave at some point during the year, because for me, the bond with children is based on presence, listening, and constant support.

I currently work as a waitress at the Enjoy Punta del Este Hotel, a position I've held since December 2023. This position has allowed me to further develop my attention span, empathy, and ability to work under pressure, as well as improve my conversational English through contact with tourists.

I want to pursue this Au Pair experience primarily for the cultural exchange, which I believe is one of the most beautiful and authentic ways to get to know a country: sharing daily life with a family, learning their customs, and being part of their lives. I also want to travel, grow personally, and learn more about myself, stepping out of my comfort zone with an open, curious, and responsible attitude.

I would love to take care of your children, accompanying them with love, playing games, tutoring them academically if needed, and communicating with them based on respect and affection.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. I hope to be a good companion for your children and a positive presence in your home. I am very excited about what this experience can bring for everyone!

With love,
Valentina

Experience

Originally translated from Español
I gained the most experience with children while caring for my niece, whom I have been with since she was born (she is now 10). Being an active part of her upbringing allowed me to develop a deep bond and a keen understanding of children's needs at every stage. We shared experiences ranging from games and outings to homework and important conversations, and today I remain a trusted figure in her life.

I also worked for several years as an English teacher, teaching children ages 1 to 10 in kindergartens and schools. I planned dynamic and creative lessons tailored to each age group, always prioritizing learning through play and connection. That experience taught me to be patient, organized, and very observant, and gave me the tools to support children not only academically, but also emotionally and socially.

I also worked as a nanny on a part-time basis. I babysat for 6-year-old Federica on several occasions, ensuring her snacks, playtime, and company. The person I spent the most time with was 5-year-old Pía, whom I cared for for several months. We developed a routine of activities that included games, stories, walks, and moments of emotional support.

Being with children is something I truly enjoy. I like to listen to them, create safe and fun spaces, and accompany them with respect, empathy, and affection. I consider myself a responsible, empathetic, and committed person. I am very close and affectionate with children, but I also know how to set boundaries respectfully and clearly when necessary. I adapt easily to changes, enjoy learning new things, and greatly value honest communication.

I am organized, calm, and creative. I always seek to create a good environment around me and enjoy collaborating with others to make everything run as smoothly as possible.

Interests / Hobbies

I love traveling, learning about new cultures and ways of life. I love nature, walking outdoors, going to the beach, and discovering new places. I also enjoy reading, writing, and movies. I'm very interested in everything related to personal and emotional development, and I enjoy spending quality time with the people I love. I also enjoy music, languages, and creating fun activities, especially with children.

Plans after the Au Pair & Nanny Experience

After completing this experience, I would like to continue traveling or settle for a while in a country that inspires me, continue my training, and perhaps return to working with children, either as a teacher or in another educational or creative role. I see this stage as an Au Pair as a very valuable process of personal growth, which will help me understand myself better, gain new skills, and open new doors for the future.
