Dear Host Family,

My name is Zeynep, I’m 22 years old and I live in Batman, a city in Turkey. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. I’m really excited about the opportunity to become a part of your family as an au pair and to share wonderful experiences together.

I have always loved spending time with children. Their energy, honesty, and creativity inspire me deeply. Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to care for children of different ages. I regularly looked after my younger cousins and also worked as a babysitter for our neighbor’s children, aged 3 and 6. During that time, I helped with daily routines such as preparing meals, playing games, assisting with homework, and getting them ready for bedtime. I believe that being patient, responsible, and loving are key when working with children, and I always try to reflect these values in my care.

I am currently studying culinary arts and working as a barista at a cozy café. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, painting, going for walks, listening to music, and exploring new cultures. Learning about different lifestyles and meeting people from around the world is something I’m very passionate about. I believe that living with a host family will be a valuable experience for both personal growth and cultural exchange.

I want to become an au pair not only because I love spending time with children, but also because I want to experience life in a different country, improve my language skills, and build meaningful connections with people from diverse backgrounds. I hope to become not just a caregiver, but also a big sister and a trusted member of your family.

Thank you again for considering me. I truly look forward to getting to know you better and becoming part of your everyday life. Please feel free to ask me anything you’d like — I’ll be happy to answer.

Warm regards,
Zeynep
