My name is Lindsey, and I’m so excited about the opportunity to become a part of your family as your au pair. Thank you for taking the time to consider my application—I hope this letter gives you a better idea of who I am and why I’d love to share this experience with you.

I’m 19 years old and currently living in the US, Portland Oregon to be exact. I come from a large family, and I’ve always had a passion for working with children. Whether helping with homework, playing creative games, or just being a supportive and caring presence, I truly enjoy helping kids learn and grow in a positive, nurturing environment.

Over the past few years, I’ve had various experiences caring for children of different ages I worked as a nanny for 6 months here in Portland and discovered how much I love working with kids. I've also done volunteer childcare at my church. These experiences have taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of open communication with both children and their parents.

Becoming an au pair is not only a chance for me to care for your children, but also to learn about your culture and language, and to share my own. I’m looking forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and supporting you in any way I can—whether it’s helping with school pick-ups, preparing meals, or keeping the kids engaged and happy.

I’m a positive, flexible, and reliable person who loves to stay active, try new things, and bring creativity into everyday life. I’m also happy to help with light housework and contribute to a calm, organized household.

Thank you again for considering me. I hope we can get to know each other better and see if we’re a great fit!
