Dear Host Family,?thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

My name is AJ and I am 26 years old. You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair.

I am currently living alone in Cebu City, Philippines. My family lives just few minutes away and I see them regularly. At the moment, I am working in a call center but I’d like to explore more from the world and other countries.

In my spare time, I love to teach. During the last three summer holidays, I teached my neighbors kids with their school assignments and did advanced lessons for their next school year. In between the short lessons I like entertaining the children and we had lots of fun playing hide and seek, doing face paintings, colouring ins and many more games.

I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me.

I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you.

Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.
I have never spent longer time abroad but I am used to not seeing either my family so I don’t think I will become particular homesick.

I am really curious to hear all about you and your children. The information I have read so far sounds really interesting. I hope you like my letter and I can’t wait to hear back from you.

Thank you for reading my letter and kind regards,?AJ
