Letter to the family
Originally translated from Français
Madam, Sir,
Let me introduce myself. My name is Mary-Lou and I am 18 years old. I have 2 brothers and 1 sister. I am currently preparing my competitive exams to join the scientific research units. Besides that, I do a lot of sport. I have been playing football since I was 6 years old and I have also been doing bodybuilding for 2 years now. In short, I am active.
In my free time I look after my brothers and sisters' children. I make them do their homework, I take them to sports, to school, I share manual activities with them and I teach them Spanish because I am bilingual!
I am also involved in many associations.
I am therefore taking the liberty of sending you my application for the position of au pair in your family. Passionate about the idea of discovering new cultures while contributing to the development of your children, I am convinced that this experience would be enriching for both you and me.
First of all, I want to become an au pair because it would allow me to combine my desire to travel with my passion for human contact and childhood. I have always loved taking care of children, accompanying them in their daily lives, and transmitting important values such as mutual aid and sharing. The opportunity to immerse myself in a different culture and learn a new language while contributing to family life is a project that excites me.
I am convinced that I can be an asset to your family. As a serious, dynamic and responsible person, I am ready to fully invest myself in my daily missions. You can count on me to look after your children, help them with their homework, prepare their meals, or organize fun and educational activities adapted to their needs. My listening skills and my ability to easily adapt to different situations will make me a caring and trustworthy presence for your children.
In addition, I have already had experiences of childcare, whether in the context of babysitting or helping with homework, which allowed me to develop solid skills in time management, patience and organization. In addition, my motivation to learn and my desire to invest in a family fully qualify me for this position.
I am therefore convinced that this experience would be a great opportunity for exchange and sharing. I aspire to make my contribution to your daily life, while enriching my personal and cultural journey.
I remain at your disposal for any additional information and I hope to have the opportunity to discuss this great adventure with you.
Please accept, Madam, Sir, the expression of my distinguished greetings.
