Letter to the family

Hello! My name is Katrina, I’m a young traveller from Canada who is trying to make a difference in the world. I’ve been travelling since I was 18 because I had dreamed of seeing the world. The thing i’ve always loved about travelling is meeting new people and discovering their stories, and making those people a part of my life story. I think every culture has a special beauty to it but a person will never understand what it’s like to live in a new place unless you actually do it. So, i’m doing it. I am an aspiring photojournalist, I love writing stories about the people i’ve met and the impacts travelling has had on my life.

I want to become an Au Pair for two big reasons. The first is that I absolutely adore kids, and enjoy spending time with kids in every new country I visit. I love being around kids all the time, seeing the world through their eyes is a special experience and makes me appreciate everything around me so much more. The other reason is because I love experiencing new culture, but to really experience it I want to live with a local family.

I believe you’d enjoy hosting me because I am a very enthusiastic, warm, outgoing, and confident woman. I have a contagious love for life around me and I am always a positive person. I am very easygoing and love to help in any way I can especially when it involved kids.

I qualify for this position because I have a lot of experience with looking after kids. In February of this year, I moved to Tanzania for 3 months to work with an English school. There, I had the chance to teach the baby class (children aged 4-8). I loved it so much, most of the volunteers would drop out after a week because the job was tough, but it was so rewarding when the kids would greet me every morning and give me hugs. I loved seeing them progress. I also looked after a 1-year-old child often at the school as her mom worked long hours, I would feed her, change her diapers, give her a nap, and play with her. Looking after her was one of my favourite parts. Outside of the school day, I would hang out with the children all day playing with them, drawing with them, singing, and dancing. I spent 10 hours a day with them and never got tired of it.

Experience

I don’t have any experience Au Pairing specifically as all my experience has been volunteering at schools, but it has been a huge aspect to my volunteer experiences as I always choose to work with kids. Why I want to become one abroad though is because I think children can help teach me so much about the world and especially how they see their world. I love the simple joys and the daily routines they have that are so different to mine back home. I have learned so much about myself while travelling abroad and want to continue doing so through Au Pair. I also love experiencing new cultures. I love Canada, but I’ve lived and worked there my whole life. I want to be able to live and work in a new culture at this time because it helps me grow so much as a person.
