Hi AuPair families,
My name is Dearbhla, I’m 18 years old, and I come from Ireland. Writing this should help me express my sincere interest in becoming your au pair, and to share a bit about who I am, why I’ve chosen this path, and what I hope to bring to your home.

I’ve always had a deep love for working with children and experiencing different cultures. Becoming an au pair gives me the opportunity to combine both—supporting a family in their everyday life while immersing myself in a new environment and learning from it. I believe that living with a host family is one of the most meaningful ways to truly understand a new culture and language, and I’m excited to build lasting connections in the process.

I’d love to become a part of your family because I’m caring, responsible, and genuinely passionate about childcare. I bring energy, creativity, and patience into everything I do—whether it’s helping with homework, planning fun activities, or maintaining routines that help children feel secure and happy. I understand how important it is to create a safe and nurturing environment, and I take that responsibility seriously.

You should consider hosting me because I’m not only dedicated and reliable, but also adaptable and eager to contribute to your family life. I’m committed to open communication and respect for your household rules and values. I also bring a positive attitude and a sense of humour, which I believe are essential when working with children.

I qualify for this position thanks to my previous experience caring for children of various ages, my strong sense of responsibility, and my genuine enjoyment of spending time with young people. Whether through babysitting, volunteering, or supporting family members, I’ve learned how to connect with children, respond to their needs, and build trust with both them and their parents. Additionally, I’m organized, tidy, and more than happy to help with light household tasks to support your daily routine.

Thank you so much for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of joining your family, sharing cultures, and creating a meaningful experience for all of us.
