Dear Future Host Family,

My name is Zaynab, and I’m a 17-year-old student from Toronto, Canada. I’m currently finishing high school in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children, exploring new cultures, and building meaningful connections with people around the world.

Becoming an au pair is something I’ve dreamed of because it combines everything I love—caring for children, experiencing life in a new country, and being part of a family. I see this opportunity not only as a chance to grow personally but also to contribute positively to your home by bringing warmth, energy, and support to your children’s lives. I’m excited to learn from your family’s culture, language, and routines while sharing a piece of my own.

I believe I would be a great fit for your family because I’m responsible, compassionate, and adaptable. I have experience babysitting and tutoring children of various ages, including infants and preteens. I also speak English, French, and Arabic, which makes communication easy and allows me to help your children explore languages as well. I'm always patient, creative, and enjoy spending time doing activities like reading, outdoor games, arts and crafts, or helping with homework.

Hosting me means welcoming someone who genuinely values kindness, family, and creating a positive environment. I’m not just looking for a job—I’m hoping to become a real part of your home and support your children like an older sister would.

Thank you for considering me. I truly hope to be part of your family’s journey.

Warm regards,
Zaynab
