Letter to the family

Greetings!

My name is Haley, and currently I am earning my BSc degree in Economics and a minor in Philosophy at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities with a graduation date in May. Friday and Saturday evenings I work as a waitress at an award winning restaurant downtown. My values revolve around the enrichment of the mind body and soul, and I believe strongly in health in wellness in all of those areas. My hobbies include yoga and meditation, strength training, reading, and photography painting, cooking and baking, spending time outside, following high fashion and expanding my music knowledge. I am the owner of a blog, where I focus on naturalistic observations of the human experience, as well as comments and analysis on the fine arts and cultures. I am also a plant mom!

I grew up in a home with a single mother and a little brother with severe autism. From a young age I have been assisting in care taking duties for my brother, and being a support for my mothers duties as well. Growing up I have reflected more about what I had been missing from my own nutriment, and how to heal in a way that fosters my utmost wellbeing. I have worked hard to understand myself better, and to apply the appropriate balance of discipline and love in order to succeed in my goals.

I want to become an Au Pair for several reasons. First and foremost, I would like to be a part of a child's upbringing in a positively impactful way. I want to inspire creativity and curiosity, and encourage bravery of the unknown. I want to stimulate passion and joy in a child's life. I want to be a support for them in their learning. Secondly, I would like to connect with the family, particularly one with a culture different than my own. I want to develop a relationship with an international family and foster cultural exchanges.

I would be an excellent candidate to host because of who I am as a person. I am very clean, organized, kind, and respectful. I sound very professional in my writing but I promise I have humor too. I see myself as a culturally rich person with a passion for learning and new experiences, and would love to share that passion with a family. I genuinely enjoy helping with chores and everyday life activities. I have been praised (both verbally and through promotions/opportunities) by my places of work for my work ethic, and have been told I am very good at what I do across my fields of work. I know that there is always room for improvement- I take feedback very well and work quickly to adjust and improve my performance. I also understand I am a supplement to the child's nurturement, and seek to provide the care in which you wish to give your children.

I qualify for this position from my past experiences in child care, as well as my past certifications in CPR/AED and lifeguarding. I also speak native english and have 18 years speaking Spanish fluently. I had participated in childcare of my own brother for 10 years and a family of 3 for 4 years. The children's ages ranged from 3-8, 2 of which were on the autism spectrum. I have provided accommodating care for each child, since they all have different needs, and have facilitated successful group play and engagement as well. I always provided balance for them with our time together- helping with homework/encouraging study time (as well as providing methods to improving their tasks), taking them outside, or doing each others makeup.

It is an honor of mine to have my profile read by you. If you have any questions, please reach out to me. I would love to work together to see if we make a good fit.

Sincerely,

Haley
