Dear Host Family,

My name is Florine, and I am absolutely thrilled at the idea of joining your family as an au pair! I’m 19 years old and come from the beautiful country of France. Currently, I’m in my first year at the Faculty of Law after spending a year in architecture school—yes, quite the switch! But I love learning and embracing new challenges, which is exactly why becoming an au pair feels like the perfect adventure for me.

I've always been passionate about cultural exchange and childcare, and this opportunity allows me to combine both. Living with a host family, discovering your daily life, and sharing my own culture in return sounds like an enriching experience. This isn’t my first taste of international immersion—I spent many summers in the UK doing "woofing" with my mother, which taught me adaptability, independence, and the joy of meeting new people from all walks of life.

Why should you welcome me into your home? Well, for starters, I’m responsible, caring, and full of energy! I love staying active—I’ve been playing the piano since I was six, painting whenever inspiration strikes, and running to clear my mind between my studies. I also have experience looking after children: I used to care for my neighbors' kids during high school, and last year, I worked for the childcare company Kinougarde. On top of that, I have siblings, so I’m well-versed in the art of patience, negotiation, and creative problem-solving!

As for my English skills, I validated a B2 level with the CLES certification last year, and I’m confident that my level has only improved since then. I can’t wait to immerse myself even further in an English-speaking environment, learning from your family while also bringing my own French touch to your home.

I would love to get to know you better and discuss how I can contribute to your family’s daily life. Thank you for considering my application—I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Best regards,

Florine
