Dear Host Family,

My name is Wakaha , and I am a university student currently living in Kyoto, Japan. I am writing to express my sincere interest in becoming an au pair with your family, as I will be starting my working holiday in Australia this coming October.

At first, I considered staying in a homestay or a share house. However, after hearing a close friend’s wonderful experience as an au pair—living with a warm and caring host family and creating unforgettable memories—I felt strongly inspired to take the same path. I realized that I want more than just a place to stay; I want to become part of a local family, immerse myself in everyday life, and build meaningful connections through shared experiences.

Although I do not have professional childcare experience, I truly love spending time with children. I am a warm, positive, and communicative person who enjoys interacting with people of all ages. If given the opportunity, I would do my best to support your family not just as an au pair, but as a dedicated and caring member of the household. I would be happy to help with childcare, assist with housework, and spend quality time with you—whether it’s talking, cooking together, or going on outings as a family.

It would be a great honor to share this journey with you, and I hope we can create a trusting and joyful relationship that goes beyond a simple work arrangement.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you.

Warm regards,
Wakaha
