Letter to the family
My name is Cece, and I am a self employed artist with a passion for exploring the world, experiencing different cultures, and meeting people from all walks of life. I value the opportunity to learn and grow through diverse experiences and am excited to contribute positively to a host family’s journey. My creative background and open minded approach allow me to adapt easily to new environments and build meaningful connections with others.
I am deeply passionate about travel and immersing myself in new cultures. Becoming an au pair presents a unique opportunity to engage with a host family, share in their journey, and contribute positively to their lives, particularly in caring for their children. I find joy in bringing light and positivity into others’ lives, and being part of a family while exploring new traditions excites me. I believe this experience will enrich my personal growth and allow me to build lasting connections.
I bring with me a strong background in childcare, with years of hands-on experience. From the age of 13, I have been actively involved in babysitting, which eventually led me to professional roles such as volunteering at youth camps and working as a paraprofessional. I have worked closely with students of all backgrounds, including those with special needs, which has further refined my patience, creativity, and problem-solving skills.
Additionally, I have had the privilege of being the primary caregiver for my sister, who has special needs. Over the years, I have assisted her in various aspects of life, from helping her develop essential life skills like cooking, cleaning, and maintaining hygiene, to providing academic support and even driving her to various activities. This experience has made me well-versed in offering compassionate and attentive care to individuals with diverse needs.
I believe my qualifications are a great match for this position due to my extensive childcare experience and my personal qualities. I am detail-oriented, adaptable, and thrive in environments that require creativity and critical thinking. I am comfortable following instructions while also seeking clarification when needed to ensure I meet expectations fully. My background in both informal and formal childcare settings, particularly with children with special needs, allows me to provide the highest level of care and support to a host family. I am confident that my positive energy and dedication to nurturing children will make me an excellent addition to your family.
