Letter to the family

Dear Host Family,

My name is Akila, and I am a warm, responsible, and open-minded individual with a deep love for children and cultural exchange. I come from Sri Lanka, and I’m a vocational training student. I'm excited about the opportunity to become an Au Pair & Nanny, not just as a job, but as a meaningful journey of learning and growing alongside a wonderful family like yours.

Becoming an Au Pair is a dream for me because it combines two of my biggest passions: caring for children and experiencing new cultures. I enjoy spending time with kids, helping them learn, grow, and express themselves creatively. I believe children bring out the best in us, and I find joy in supporting their development through love, patience, and positive interaction. Additionally, living with a host family will allow me to immerse myself in a new culture, language, and way of life — a truly enriching experience that I will treasure forever.

I am someone who values respect, kindness, and communication. I can adapt easily, and I understand the importance of being a reliable support system for both the parents and the children. I’m happy to help with daily routines, light household tasks, and creating a calm and happy environment in your home. I am also open to learning your family’s routines and values so I can blend in smoothly and respectfully.

I have prior experience with children of various ages, whether it’s helping relatives, neighbors, or volunteering in community activities. I’m organized, calm under pressure, and know how to create fun, educational, and safe activities for kids. I also have basic computer skills, good communication abilities, and a strong sense of responsibility — all of which make me confident that I can be a positive addition to your family.

Thank you for considering my application. I am truly excited about the possibility of joining your family and creating lasting memories together.

Warm regards,
Akila.

Experience

I have nearly five years of experience working as a Support Staff member at GEMS Cambridge International Private School in Sharjah, UAE, where I closely supported both teachers and children in a multicultural school environment. My responsibilities included supervising children, assisting with classroom activities, ensuring their safety, and providing emotional and practical support throughout the school day. This experience gave me a deep understanding of children's needs, behavior, and development across different age groups.

Although I have not worked as an official Au Pair yet, my background has prepared me well for this role. I am used to managing routines, helping with learning, encouraging positive behavior, and making children feel safe and cared for.

I would love to become an Au Pair abroad because it combines my love for children with my passion for cultural exchange. Living with a host family will allow me to learn a new language, adapt to a different way of life, and build meaningful relationships, all while doing something I enjoy — caring for children. I see this as not just a job, but a life-changing opportunity for personal growth and global experience.
