Letter to the family
Dear Future Host Family,
My name is Tilde, and I am 19 years old from Malmö, Sweden. I am currently finishing my high school education with a focus on Humanities, studying subjects such as history, English, Latin, and cultural history. I have always been passionate about learning new things, meeting new people, and exploring different cultures. After graduation, I plan to further my studies in history and the humanities at university.
I am excited to apply for the Au Pair position because I have always had a deep love for children, cultural exchange, and helping others. I believe being an Au Pair would be a wonderful opportunity to grow both personally and professionally, while also gaining valuable life experiences in a new environment. I am particularly drawn to the chance of living with a family, being a part of their daily routines, and contributing to their household in a meaningful way.
Why should you host me? I am a responsible, caring, and social person who genuinely enjoys spending time with children. I have experience working in different roles where I have interacted with the public and taken care of responsibilities. For example, I have worked as an ambassador for an organization where I have spoken at events and given lectures, a role that requires good communication skills, responsibility, and the ability to interact with a variety of people. I am also experienced in sales from working at a Christmas market and as a park caretaker, where I was trusted to interact with customers and manage tasks on my own.
In addition to my social and organizational skills, I am also very adaptable and open to new experiences. I am used to stepping out of my comfort zone and taking on new challenges, such as traveling abroad and immersing myself in different cultures. I am fluent in both Swedish and English, and I am committed to learning and improving my language skills during my time as an Au Pair.
What makes me well-qualified for this role is my enthusiasm and motivation to contribute to your family. I genuinely care about creating a positive and supportive environment for children, whether it’s through engaging activities, helping with homework, or simply spending quality time together. I am patient, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the experience enjoyable for both the children and the family.
I am excited about the opportunity to not only support your family with childcare but also learn more about your culture and language, and share a bit of mine with you. I believe this experience will be a mutually enriching exchange, and I look forward to the chance of becoming a valued member of your family.
Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to hear from you and hopefully embark on this exciting journey together.
Warm regards,
Tilde
