Dear Future Host Family,

My name is Ntombi, I’m 21 years old and originally from South Africa. I moved abroad from South Africa to study Architecture at university, and I’m currently continuing my education while seeking a new and meaningful experience—one I hope to find as an Au Pair with your family.

I’ve always had a natural connection with children, and becoming an Au Pair feels like the perfect opportunity to combine my love for childcare with my passion for learning about different cultures. I see this role as much more than just helping out—it’s about building genuine bonds, offering support and care, and sharing daily life together in a way that’s enriching for everyone involved.

I believe I would be a wonderful addition to your home because I’m reliable, nurturing, and adaptable. My background in architecture has taught me to be organised, creative, and patient—qualities I know are incredibly valuable when looking after children. I also come from a close-knit family, so I understand how important trust, respect, and good communication are in any household.

In terms of experience, I’ve cared for children both in South Africa and while studying abroad. I’ve helped with schoolwork, prepared meals, played games, and ensured the children felt safe, supported, and happy. I’m also more than happy to assist with light household tasks, and I’m confident in my ability to fit in with your family’s routines and expectations. I speak fluent English, enjoy learning new things, and would love to share a bit of South African culture with your family while embracing yours as well.

Thank you very much for considering me as your Au Pair. I’m genuinely excited about the chance to become a part of your family, support your children, and create a positive, memorable experience together.

Warmest regards,
Ntombi
