Dear Au Pair,

I hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to you with an exciting opportunity that we believe you might be interested in. We are currently searching for an au pair to join our family at the end of 2023, and the beginning of 2024.

Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are a family of five, consisting of Raquel (mother), Daniel (father), Lara (8y), Caio (6y), and Maitê (almost 2y). Presently, we reside in the city of Salvador. However, due to our work commitments, we will be relocating back to São Paulo in 2024. We used to live there 2 years ago.

Having been an au pair myself, I understand the profound impact and significance of this role. It's not just about assisting a family; it's about cultural immersion, personal growth, and forming lasting bonds. We believe that by welcoming an au pair into our home, we will not only receive the support we need during our transition but also provide you with a unique experience that I once cherished.

We believe that inviting an au pair into our home will not only provide us with the assistance and support we need during this transition but will also offer you a unique opportunity for cultural exchange and personal growth. Your presence and involvement in our daily lives will help us manage our busy schedules and ensure our children's well-being and development.

As an au pair with us, you would be responsible for engaging with the children in educational and recreational activities, assisting with their daily routines (sometimes driving or taking a cab), and occasionally helping out with light household tasks. In return, we are excited to offer you a comfortable living environment, a private room, and a stipend to cover your personal expenses. Moreover, you will have free time to explore São Paulo, immersing yourself in the rich Brazilian culture and lifestyle.

We understand that this is a significant decision, and we encourage you to take the time to consider whether this opportunity aligns with your interests and goals. We are more than willing to answer any questions you may have and discuss any concerns you might want to address. Please don't hesitate to reach out.

We truly hope you will give this opportunity serious thought. Our family is enthusiastic about the prospect of welcoming you into our lives, and we believe that this experience will be mutually beneficial and rewarding.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. We look forward to hearing from you soon.

Warm regards,

Raquel dan Family
