Letter to the family
Originally translated from Français
Hello, my name is Marilou, I'm 22 years old, and I was born and raised in Marseille.
I'm currently completing a BTS (Higher National Diploma) in Fashion Design, and I'm also a leatherworker. Passionate about fashion and craftsmanship, I'm constantly seeking to learn and develop new skills. Beyond my studies, I've always had a keen interest in children and have had the opportunity to care for children of all ages thanks to my large family. As one of five siblings and an aunt to children aged 3 to 5, I have extensive experience in childcare and leading fun and educational activities.
I also have a driving license and have been driving for 3 years, which allows me to be independent and get around easily.
Why I want to be an au pair:
I want to become an au pair because I see this experience as a unique opportunity to discover a new culture, improve my Italian language skills, and fully immerse myself in the daily life of an Italian family. As an Italian by birth, it has always been a dream of mine to live in Italy and learn more about the country of my ancestors. Furthermore, this au pair stay will allow me to perfect my Italian to reach a bilingual level, which will be a real asset in my future career.
After my stay as an au pair, I plan to continue my studies in the leather goods industry in France, enriching my career through this intercultural experience.
Why the family should host me:
I think I would be a good candidate for your family because I am responsible, enthusiastic, and caring. My experience caring for children in a family setting allows me to understand the needs of children and respond appropriately. I am patient, creative, and enjoy organizing age-appropriate activities. Furthermore, I am flexible and open to new experiences, ready to adapt to your family's needs.
As an au pair, I will be delighted to care for the children, help them with their homework, offer them educational and creative games, and help with household chores. I am also motivated to fully integrate into your daily life and contribute to a positive family atmosphere.
Why I qualify for the position:
I feel qualified for this position thanks to my childcare and responsibility skills. As part of a large family, I have learned how to manage several children at the same time, organize their schedules, and create a safe and stimulating environment. Furthermore, my background in art and fashion design has allowed me to develop creative skills that I can share with the children through workshops, games, or crafts.
I speak French fluently and am currently perfecting my Italian, which will allow me to communicate easily with you and help your children progress in the language.
