Dear family,

I am writing to express my great enthusiasm about the idea of joining your family as an au pair. My name is Mélissa, and I am 25 years old. I have previously had the opportunity to work as an au pair for three and a half months in London, where I cared for three children, including one child with a severe disability. This experience was extremely enriching both personally and professionally, and I am highly motivated to renew this experience with your family.

I am deeply convinced that the role of an au pair is a unique opportunity to contribute to the well-being of children while immersing myself in the local culture and improving my language skills. For me, this is not simply a job, but a true exchange. I really like the idea of being a daily support for a family, actively participating in the education, development, and routine of the children.

I am even more motivated by the idea of being directly hosted by you, as it not only strengthens the bond with the children but also allows me to integrate more easily into your daily life. This constant contact enables me to be more present for them, to tailor my support to their specific needs, and to create a relationship based on trust and complicity. It also fosters a better understanding of the family dynamic, which is essential for me to be as helpful as possible and to engage in a sincere and responsible way.

Additionally, I am qualified for this position, notably due to my previous experience in London where I cared for children aged 3, 7, and 11, including a child with an illness and disability (7 years old). This experience taught me to be patient, adaptable, kind, and responsive in complex situations. Alongside this experience abroad, I have also worked as a babysitter in France, which allowed me to develop a professional and caring approach to looking after and supporting young children.

I truly believe that I am an ideal candidate for this role, as I am responsible, caring, and ready to fully invest myself in your daily life and the well-being of your children. I am eager to offer my help in a positive manner, while respecting your values and family organization.

I would be happy to discuss this opportunity further with you and answer any questions you may have. I look forward to meeting you and thank you for your time and consideration of my application.

Yours sincerely,
Mélissa
