Magdė (21), lituano/a, Estudiante actualmente en Lituania quiere ser Au Pair & Niñera en Francia, Alemania, Islandia, Noruega & Suiza

Dear host family, thank you for taking the time to read my letter.
My name is Magde and I am 19 years old. I have spent the past year in the USA, North Carolina as a scholarship finalist in the “Flex” program. The year before that I spent 2 months over the summertime as an AuPair in Germany, Bünde, and it was a wonderful experience (I could give the family's contacts).
My closest friends and relatives describe me as a kind, responsible, open-minded, and a bit extreme person. My greatest wish is to learn more about your family traditions, make lasting relationships with your kids, experience the atmosphere of your culture, and learn the German language. I am planning to study in Germany after finishing High School.
I am used to having personal responsibilities to achieve our family’s goals and knowing how hard my parents work, I try to help them whenever I can. Working in the garden or with the laundry as well as tidying my room and cleaning are things that I always try to help with. My parents have raised me as a reliable, proximate, and empathetic person.

I am confident about succeeding in being an AuPair and there are a few reasons why. One of my best personal strengths is communication. For example, I have volunteered at an organization where students from 9th to 12th grade help younger students with their homework and leadership training. Even though we spend time with different students every week, I managed to create true friendships with younger students and they are not afraid to ask for any help or company to this day. Children have different goals, but they really enjoy having a friend. My point is that choosing me as an AuPair would mean that your child would have a real friend, they could trust and learn from. This position is not just a job for me, I believe that becoming a part of a family has many benefits both for AuPairs and host families. Besides that, while living in the USA, I had 3 younger siblings. I have adopted some of the qualities of the parents when it comes to taking care of children. I have also volunteered in Lithuanian Kindergartens. This experience has taught me to develop and implement physical activities such as playing outdoors, taking care of animals in the parks/ other surroundings, doing group sports that would help the children release energy, and at the same time teach them other skills. Moreover, the same position I have with cultures. I am a real Lithuanian, I know a lot about my country and its traditions. I would love to let your family experience a few of our colors of Lithuanian culture. I believe that sharing experiences and traditions with kids from their young days is one of the best ways to introduce them to the diversity of cultures. With all my qualities and values I would surely be open to new experiences with children and a different environment.
