Dear Host Family,

I’m writing to express my genuine interest in joining your family as an au pair this summer. I am a finance professional who recently completed an MBA in Nice, France. While I continue to explore full-time opportunities, I’m eager to spend the summer in a meaningful way, supporting a wonderful family and deepening my experience with cultural exchange.

Having lived and studied in France, I’ve come to truly appreciate the value of connection, warmth, and shared experiences. Becoming an au pair aligns with these values. I love spending time with children, their curiosity, energy, and honesty are refreshing and inspiring. I believe that being part of their daily lives, helping them learn, grow, and feel supported, is a real privilege.

You should consider hosting me because I bring a strong sense of responsibility, emotional intelligence, a nurturing personality, and a global outlook. I’m kind, patient, and creative, qualities children often respond well to. I’ve lived in Nigeria, the USA, and the UK, and traveled extensively, which makes me highly adaptable to new environments and situations. I’m confident in my ability to integrate seamlessly into your family dynamic and support your routines with care and thoughtfulness.

Beyond my academic background, I also have hands-on childcare experience. After college, I taught kindergarten students for over a year at a local primary school. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I was in the U.S. with my aunt, helping care for her 11-year-old son for six months while she worked as a frontline nurse. I’ve also supported younger step-siblings, cousins, and friends' children over the years. I am fluent in English, conversational in French, and actively working to improve my language skills. My maturity, life experience, genuine love for children, and strong communication skills make me well-suited for this role.

Thank you for considering my application. I would be honored to bring warmth, reliability, and joy into your home this summer. I look forward to the possibility of speaking with you soon.

Warm regards,
