Letter to the family
Dear Families,
I am excited about the opportunity to become an Au Pair with your family. My name is Erika, and I am 26 years old from Greece. I have always been passionate about working with children and believe that learning should be a fun, creative, and supportive experience. I am a responsible, open-minded, and adaptable person who enjoys connecting with new people and immersing myself in different cultures. In my free time, I love painting, art&crafts, reading, and learning new languages, and I would be happy to share these interests with your children.
Becoming an Au Pair is an exciting opportunity for me to combine my love for childcare, education, and cultural exchange. I find it incredibly rewarding to help children grow, learn, and gain confidence. This experience will allow me to support your children academically while also learning from them and your family’s traditions. I hope to create a positive, nurturing environment where they feel encouraged to explore their creativity, ask questions, and develop new skills.
You should consider hosting me because I am not only dedicated to this role but also genuinely invested in making a positive impact on your children’s lives. My approach to childcare and tutoring is a mix of patience, warmth, and structure, ensuring that your children feel supported in both their learning and daily routines. Whether helping with organising fun and creative activities, or assisting with daily household tasks, I am committed to being a reliable and engaged part of your family. I also respect household rules and aim to integrate seamlessly into your home.
I am confident that I am a great fit for this position because of my background in childcare as well as my certificate in art education. My experience working with children has taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in finding the best ways to engage them in learning. I am also fluent in both English and Greek, which could be helpful in supporting your children’s language development.
Beyond this experience, I plan to pursue a career in art therapy, using creativity to support children’s emotional and cognitive growth. I believe that artistic expression is a powerful tool for communication and self-discovery, and I would love to incorporate creative activities into my time with your children. Whether through storytelling, music, or art, I aim to make learning enjoyable and meaningful.
I would be honored to become part of your family, bringing enthusiasm, dedication, and kindness to this experience. I look forward to the possibility of getting to know you and your children, sharing wonderful moments together, and creating a positive and enriching environment.
Thank you for your time!!
