Dear Host Family,

My name is Elena, I am 21 years old and I am Italian. I am a cheerful, responsible and motivated girl who loves to learn about new cultures. In fact, I was an exchange student in a host family in Ireland when I was 17 and I am currently on Erasmus in Spain.

I decided to undertake this adventure as an Au Pair because I believe it is a unique opportunity to grow personally, since I like to experiment, and professionally, since I have already had a little experience as a tutor for elementary, middle and high school students. I love working with children, creating a safe, stimulating and affectionate environment and, moreover, I am excited about the idea of ​​​​immersing myself in your culture, practicing the language and sharing with you the traditions of my country, as I have been used to doing for a long time.

For this reason, I would be very grateful if you chose to host me because I think I am the right person: reliable, patient and attentive to the needs of the family, but also always ready to involve children in educational and fun activities. Furthermore, having already been part of another host family in another country, I am aware of the respect needed to establish a harmonious relationship.

As for my qualifications, I have experience with children of different ages (from 6 to 16 years old) and I have developed skills in managing daily routines, helping with homework and establishing a relationship of trust with them. Furthermore, I have a good knowledge of several languages ​​such as Italian, English, Spanish and French and I am willing to further improve my language skills to better communicate with you and the children. I am also able to do small household chores, as during Erasmus I learned that you have to manage on your own, to contribute to the balance of family life.

I really hope to be able to become part of your family and share this wonderful experience with you. I remain at your disposal for any questions and I look forward to meeting you!

With love,

Elena
