Dear Host Family,

My name is Petra, I'm 21 years old, and I just completed my Bachelor's degree in Applied Foreign Languages ​​(Chinese and Russian) at the Sorbonne in Paris. My goal is to become fluent in Chinese in order to pursue a Master's degree specializing in this language. To achieve this, I'd like to experience total immersion in China for several months.

I've always been passionate about China: its language, its culture, its gastronomy, its history... everything appeals to me. Becoming an au pair in China would be a unique opportunity for me to improve my Chinese while sharing the life of a local family and enriching myself as a person.

I am a serious, curious, independent person, and very comfortable with children. I am 10 years older than my younger brother and 11 years older than my younger sister, whom I babysit very often. I've also had the opportunity to babysit for other families, which has allowed me to develop a real ease and creativity with young children. I know how to play with them, keep them entertained, help them with their homework, and build trusting relationships.

I'm fluent in French and Serbian (my two mother tongues), as well as English, which I master at the same level as French. I also have a B2 level in Chinese and Russian, and an A2-B1 level in Japanese. I can therefore easily adapt to a multicultural family and even introduce your children to other languages ​​if you're interested.

I'm passionate about music: I completed six years of training at the conservatory (music theory, choir, percussion), I play the piano, the guitar, I sing, and I'm a choir singer in my church. I'm also passionate about art (I've been drawing and painting since I was little) and sports. I practiced karate for 12 years, boxing for 3 years, and now I practice bodybuilding. So, I have many activities to offer your children, both calm and active.

Welcoming your family would be an invaluable human and cultural adventure for me. I promise to help you with enthusiasm, to integrate with respect, and to share with you the best of who I am.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter, and I sincerely hope to meet you soon.

Yours sincerely,
Petra
