Dear host family,

Firstly ,I would like to thank you your interest in my profile. I would like to tell you some things about me, my family, my interests and of course about my experiences in taking care of children. This letter should give you an insight in my life and in my personality, so you can decide better if I am the right Au-pair for your family.

My name is Leah, I am 24 years old and I was born on the 16th of march 1997 in Nairobi Kenya.I am actually almost turning 25.

The first reason why I want to be an au pair is to come close with children for a year. I love children. I like to care for them, to play with them and to see how they are growing up.
It’s a big dream for me since a few years to live and work as an Au-Pair and it will be a great and formative experience to share my life with your family for a whole year. I’m really excited that it will become reality soon.
Another reason for me to stay a year abroad is having the opportunity to learn about a different culture. I want to learn a lot about other people lifestyle. I see the chance to improve myself ,to discover a new part of the world and to meet new People.

Now I would like to tell you something about my experiences with children. Most of my Time, I work at the kindergarten and also babysit in a family with two children (girls at the age of 6 months and 5 years old boy)I often take care of them and do things like play in the garden, jump trampoline, play games, made and paint something with them. It is a lot of fun for me to spend time with them. I help them with their homework’s, cook lunch read histories or do a back massage when it is bedtime. I learn with them for class test and do homework’s. We (the boy and I) learn English grammar and vocabulary. If he doesn't understand something I try to explain it and give him some tips and tricks to solve this tasks.
The 6 months old girl, I feed her, change diapers, put her to bed, play with her in the garden or at home, go to the zoo or to the playground. We often go for a walk with the baby carriages (mostly for a nap).
I had a lot of practical trainings, where I work with children’s in a kindergarten where I play with the children outside at the playground, played games, painted and made something, had breakfast with the children, went to church, sung, played little role games with the whole group, i supervise the children’s, done puzzles, cooked with them, read books and in the wood. I also teach them something about animals or something else (they always have topics that they like ), do Sports with them, settle Quarrel, tought Regulate and change diapers. When I babysit on weekends and holidays I also do house chores like,(cooking, washing, cleaning, shopping), helped them by homework’s, drive them to their activities or dates, played with them, supervised them, done DVD evenings or some free activities like walking in the wood, play in the playground and went to the park.

My family stands behind me, support me and help me to make my dream come true. We have a good realationship to each other.
I have passed my driver’s license in June 2020 and I drive almost daily without any accidents since that date. During my lessons in the driving school I have also attended a first aid course.

I would describe myself as an honest, responsible, positive and open-minded woman who is interested in getting to know new countries and people. My Friends describe me as a good listener and a caring, respectful and dependable person.
I enjoy listening to music, go outside for a walk or jogging, meeting my friends, watching new films at the cinema, go shopping , engaging in outdoor activities and travelling

Why you should you choose me as your aupair? It’s easy, because I am really patient in caring for children and I love children. Due to my trustworthy nature, host parents do not have to worry about consigning their children to my care. The safety and well-being of your children is my priority. You can absolutely rely on me. I am a faithful and helpful person, who delights to spend her time with children. Your children are always going to have fun with me, because I am open-minded for their ideas . I would spend much time with the host family, be a part of them and I would love to look after your children, help with the household and learn more about a new city, country and the culture.
I would like to wish you a great time and thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my life a little bit better. I hope that I am the right person to take care of your children and I am looking forward to hearing from you .
