To whom it may concern:

I’m so happy you’re reading this letter! I’m writing from Shanghai, China—a vibrant, cosmopolitan city where we live in a convenient downtown area with easy access to explore everything the city has to offer.

Our family is warm, friendly, and respectful. During weekdays, we stay with my parents in their spacious home. My father is a retired lawyer, and my mother is a former hotel manager. On weekends, we return to our own apartment. I work as an editor, which gives me flexible hours, while my husband is a busy designer who loves to take us out on weekends for adventures. We’re an active family who enjoys outdoor activities, camping, farm visits, and cooking together—always eager to try new recipes!

We have a bright 4-year-old daughter attending an international kindergarten. While she’s still in the "listening phase" of English learning, she understands daily phrases and responds with simple words like "yes," "no," and short sentences. She’s observant, creative, and adored by previous au pairs. To nurture her English, we’d love for you to engage her through play, music, reading, and hands-on activities like crafts, baking, or outdoor fun—turning lessons into real-life experiences!

We’re looking for someone enthusiastic, patient, and responsible, who can both play joyfully with her and gently guide her through emotions. In return, we offer a private bedroom in our home (with an en-suite bathroom at our apartment) and a chance to become part of our family—not just as a caregiver, but as an elder sister to our little one.

We’d be thrilled to welcome you and share our culture, food, and adventures together! Please feel free to ask any questions.

Warm regards,
Yuan's Family
