Letter to the family
Dear Future Host Family,
My name is SIYA ANTONY, I am 18 years old, and I come from the beautiful state of Kerala in southern India. I have recently completed my higher secondary education and am currently working as an Au Pair in Kerala. I come from a close-knit, supportive family—my father is a businessman, and my mother is an accountant. I have always grown up in a warm and caring environment, which has inspired my love for family and children.
I have always been passionate about working with children. Becoming an Au Pair in Germany is not only an exciting opportunity for me to gain more childcare experience, but also a chance to immerse myself in a new culture, learn a new language, and grow as an individual. I see this as a unique cultural exchange where I can contribute positively to a family’s everyday life while learning from them in return.
I believe I would be a great fit for your family for several reasons. I have hands-on experience in taking care of children, whether it’s toddlers or older kids. I am comfortable with daily routines like feeding, dressing, playing, storytelling, and helping with homework. I always make sure that children are not just safe, but also happy and engaged in meaningful activities.
I have been learning German for the past 12 months, and while I am currently at the A1 level, I am dedicated to improving my language skills every day. I am also fluent in English and Malayalam, and I see language as a powerful tool to connect with others. I am confident that I will quickly adapt to life in Germany with the help of daily conversations and support from the host family.
I consider myself an extroverted, cheerful, and reliable person. I enjoy both spending time at home and exploring new places. I am always eager to learn, help around the house, and be a part of family life. I do not smoke, have no allergies, and I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Additionally, I know how to ride a bicycle and am willing to use it for daily commuting, if needed.
My goal as an Au Pair is to provide a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment for your children. I am confident that my positive attitude, patience, cultural openness, and sincere love for children make me a great choice as your next Au Pair. I am excited about the possibility of becoming a part of your family and sharing unforgettable experiences together.
Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you and hopefully join your family soon.
Warm regards,
