Letter to the family
Originally translated from Español
Dear Host Family,
My name is Paola, I am 23 years old, and I am from Mexico. I am very excited for the opportunity to write to you and tell you a little about myself and why I would love to be your future Au Pair.
I have always been a curious, cheerful person with a great love for caring for others, especially children and pets. Since I was little, I have enjoyed spending time with my sisters as a family, organizing activities, and caring for them. Over the years, I have participated in various childcare-related activities, such as volunteering at schools and recreational centers, and have developed skills both in providing safety and creating a fun and educational environment. I am also patient, responsible, and trustworthy, qualities that I consider essential to being a good Au Pair.
The main reason I want to be an Au Pair is to have the opportunity to live a unique cultural experience while developing my personal and professional skills. I feel that being an au pair is an excellent way to fully immerse myself in a new culture, improve my language skills, and learn directly from a family who welcomes me into their home. Additionally, by being surrounded by children, I am convinced I will be able to learn a lot about parenting, family traditions, and customs in their country.
I believe you should host me because I am a responsible, caring, and committed person. I love being involved in the daily lives of the people I live with, and I always try to create a warm and harmonious environment. I also have a positive and adaptable attitude, which allows me to easily integrate into new environments. I strive to make children feel comfortable and happy, while setting clear boundaries and promoting a respectful environment.
As for why I qualify for the position, I have experience working with children of different ages and backgrounds. I have worked as a nanny, assisted at summer camps, and tutored. My studies have also allowed me to learn about child development, education, and family dynamics. Additionally, I am willing to perform any task related to childcare, such as helping with homework, accompanying children to extracurricular activities, or even performing household chores related to children, including pet care.
I am convinced that my willingness to learn, my values, and my love for children make me an excellent choice to be your Au Pair. I not only want to help care for your children, but also share fun, educational, and mutually-growing moments with them.
Thank you for taking the time to consider my application. I hope to have the opportunity to get to know us better and be part of your family for a while.
Lovely
Paola
