Bethan (25 / female ), English, Teacher living in United Kingdom looking for Au Pair & Nanny job in Spain for 4-6 months

Dear Host Family,

Hello! My name is Bethan, I'm 25 years old and I'm from Essex, England. I am a friendly, responsible, outgoing person with a passion for travelling. I have travelled in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. I love meeting new people, experiencing different cultures and learning new skills. I am hoping to become an Au Pair in Spain as I think it would be an amazing experience to meet and live with a Spanish family and improve my Spanish language skills. I am currently learning Spanish but am only a beginner! I love children - I have an 18-month-old niece and have also grown up with 6 younger cousins so I am very used to taking care of children.

I have a first-class B.A. Honours degree in Media Studies, and A Levels in English, Media and Sociology. I also have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certificate and I currently work teaching English online to Chinese children. I love to use my education, knowledge and language to help teach others. I also love learning and am always grateful to learn lessons and skills from people.

A few years ago I took part in a Schools Worldwide project at a school in Namibia - we helped with gardening, painting, building and general repairs, whilst also interacting with the children (which was my favourite part). I absolutely love cooking, I cook every day and enjoy trying new recipes to keep things exciting as a vegetarian. I'm also hands-on with helping around the house and good at general maintenance/domestic tasks like cleaning, gardening etc. I love all animals, interacting with and taking care of them!

Some of my more general interests are reading, music, film, social and environmental issues, travel, fashion and art.

Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I am very excited at the prospect of potentially becoming an Au Pair, it sounds like it would be a fantastic way to be able to live and explore somewhere new, interact with new people whilst also using my skills, getting to know and helping out with a new family.
