Dear Host Family,

My name is Marie, I’m 24 years old and currently completing my Master’s degree in Geopolitics at the French Institute of Geopolitics (IFG) in Paris. I’m writing to express my deep interest in joining your family as an au pair — an opportunity I view as both a personal adventure and a way to offer real support to a caring household.

Having always loved taking care of children, I’ve frequently been entrusted by friends and family to babysit — from organizing playful activities to helping with homework or preparing simple meals. I truly enjoy building strong bonds with children and becoming a trusted presence in their day-to-day life. Beyond this, I’m an enthusiastic learner, fluent in French and English, and I’d be happy to support your family in language learning, cultural exchanges, or light household tasks.

What draws me to the au pair experience is the chance to immerse myself in a new culture in a meaningful and human way. I believe this kind of cultural exchange creates lasting relationships and personal growth on both sides. I am independent, reliable, organized, and cheerful — qualities that make me adaptable to your routines and respectful of your values.

Your family can count on my sense of responsibility, empathy, and curiosity. I’m confident I can contribute to a warm and secure environment for your children, while learning from you just as much as I hope to bring.

I would be truly honored to join your home and share this experience with you. Thank you for considering my application — I’d be very happy to answer any questions you may have, and I hope to speak with you soon!

Warm regards,

Marie
