Dear Host Family,

My name is Regina and I am 25 years old. You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair.

I am currently living in Mandaluyong, Philippines. I studied Hotel and Restaurant Management at Our Lady of Fatima University.

I am the eldest of four. My parents were working overseas, which basically means that I took responsibility in taking care of my younger siblings. From waking then up, preparing our breakfast, getting ready for school, dropping them off and picking them up, even doing their homework, and putting them to bed.

I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children/child comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or frustrated.

I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you.

Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.

I have spent longer time living alone when I worked at a company before except so I am used to not seeing my family for a long time so I don’t think I will become particular homesick. Plus, on my free time, I can just easily call them and have a video chat with them.

I hope you like my letter and I can’t wait to hear back from you.


Thank you for reading my letter and kind regards, Regina.
