Letter to the family
Hello,
My name is McKena, and I am a junior at the University of Connecticut pursuing a degree in Communications. With a deep passion for Public Relations and Marketing, I aspire to build a career that allows me to connect with people on a meaningful level. One of my greatest dreams has been to live in Italy, immersing myself in its rich culture, language, and way of life. Becoming an au pair presents the perfect opportunity to fulfill this dream while embracing new experiences, responsibilities, and connections in a foreign country.
I want to become an au pair because I genuinely love helping people and forming strong, personal relationships. The idea of becoming part of a new family and sharing my skills, energy, and enthusiasm excites me. Not only would I have the chance to support and care for your children, but I would also be able to learn from them, adapting to the nuances of your culture while bringing elements of my own. This mutual exchange is something I deeply value and look forward to experiencing.
As a responsible, adaptable, and independent individual, I believe I would be an excellent fit for your family. My experience working in customer service, sales, and coaching has equipped me with strong communication, organization, and problem-solving skills. I thrive in dynamic environments and am always prepared to take on new challenges with a positive attitude. My ability to multitask ensures that I can balance child care, household responsibilities, and any additional tasks needed to support your family. I am also very organized, which is essential when planning daily activities that keep children engaged while incorporating educational and cultural elements into their routine.
Beyond my professional experience, I have a natural affinity for working with children. I enjoy creating fun-filled, stimulating days that encourage learning, creativity, and exploration. Whether it's crafting, outdoor adventures, or storytelling, I am eager to provide an enriching environment where your children feel safe, happy, and inspired. Additionally, I am proficient in cooking and household management, ensuring that I can contribute to maintaining a well-organized home.
Safety is a priority for me, and I am committed to being fully prepared for this role. Before the start of May, I will complete a first aid and CPR course, equipping me with the knowledge to handle emergencies and prioritize your children's well-being.
Hosting me as your au pair means welcoming a dedicated, compassionate, and hard-working individual into your family. I am eager to build a lasting bond with you and your children, supporting your household in any way possible while embracing the beautiful experience of cultural exchange. Thank you for considering my application—I would love the opportunity to discuss further how I can be a valuable addition to your family.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
