Dear Future Host Family,

My name is Ailis, I am 24 years old, and I come from Canada. I’m very excited about the opportunity to become an au pair and to connect with a new family through shared experiences, care, and cultural exchange.

I’ve always enjoyed working with children, which is why I’ve chosen roles that allow me to support their growth and development. I’ve worked as a teaching assistant, and more recently as an educational assistant, where I’ve had the privilege of helping students in their learning journey. I also currently provide afterschool care for two energetic and kind elementary school boys, supporting them with homework, playtime, and creating a stable routine after their school day.

I want to become an au pair because I see it as a meaningful way to combine my love of working with children with my desire to experience new cultures and ways of life. I’m excited to build a close relationship with a host family and to be part of your children’s everyday lives—helping them grow, learn, and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.

You should consider hosting me because I bring not only professional experience with children, but also warmth, responsibility, and a calm, caring personality. I understand the balance of being both a nurturing presence and a helpful part of your household. I’m adaptable, dependable, and genuinely interested in forming a positive relationship with your family.

With my background in education and childcare, I believe I’m well-qualified for the position. I’m confident that I can bring a sense of structure, kindness, and fun to your children’s daily routine, while also being respectful and considerate in your home.

Thank you so much for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to learn more about your family and hopefully become a part of it.

Warm regards,
Ailis
