Letter to the family

Dear Host Family

My name is Tafadzwa I'm 21 years of age and I live in South africa and I would also like to describe my self with this letter. It was always a great dream of mine to work and live in a foreign country/abroad and I am really excited that it will become a reality very soon. I would like to go to USA and UK because I think they are beautiful countries. I am fascinated by their marvellous landscapes and from the nice people living there.

I would like to tell you about me and my family

My family is a typical Zimbabwean family living in South Africa. There are my family and my four siblings, there are four girls and one brother and am the first born . My dad died when I was in primary 3 and later on my step dad stepped in and helped my mom out . My mother is a house wife and has a part time job as domestic worker and my step dad is an electrician he works for himself meaning he's self employed.

They are very nice and friendly people and like to talk with other people

I have a very good and strong relationship with both my parents and my siblings ,sometimes there is a little quarrel but I think it's normal and we try to solve our problems together.

Experience

I started being a babysitter n nanny in 2017 when I was in primary 7 , it all started when my mom gave birth to twins with scissor and for that reason she couldn't do anything ,I was the oldest among my siblings , so I was the one to do everything for the babies . When she was healed I opened an afternoon care where kids would come an d wait for their parents to come back from work and it really helped me a lot because that's when I found out that I am passionate about kids and I enjoy being around them , when my dad died it became very hard and my mom was alone but with the help of the afternoon care we were able to cover up some things. We the little money I got I was even able to help myself and siblings at school. In 2022 I closed the afternoon care because I was in my last grade which is class 12 so I didn't have time but I did night shift care for my neighbours during weekends and I would be with the babies the whole night and they pick them in the morning, most of them they would new borns , and being with them it really came in handy because I was able to study .

Going abroad is a good way to develop yourself, gain in maturity, learn about yourself and improve different skills.

I'm an active and creative person who is always motivated and helpful even In all kinds of situations, I am patient and cordially , two of my strengths are that I'm open minded and adaptable that is the reason why I would make a good aupair . I can accustom myself very fast in new situations.

One of the reasons why I want to become an aupair, I have always enjoyed working with children and find it rewarding to help them learn and grow. I have previous experience working as a nanny and babysitter, I am patient and responsible and I enjoy creating engaging activities for children. And honestly I can't wait to meet new people , create everlasting memories also cultural exchange .
