Introduction to families
"Dear Family" message
Dear Host Family, My name is Bea, and I am writing to you with great excitement and anticipation about the possibility of becoming your au pair. At 27 years old, I bring with me over five years of professional experience working with children, including five years of teaching experience, and a genuine passion for childcare and education. From a young age, I have always been drawn to the magic and wonder of childhood, and my journey into teaching only deepened that connection. Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of working as a teacher, where I honed my skills in creating engaging and educational experiences for children. Whether it's guiding them through their first steps in learning to read or sparking their curiosity through hands-on science experiments, I find immense joy in being a part of their growth and development. Beyond my professional experience, I believe my personal qualities make me well-suited for the role of au pair. I am patient, compassionate, and nurturing, with a natural ability to connect with children on their level. I understand the importance of providing a safe and supportive environment where children feel valued, heard, and encouraged to explore the world around them. As an au pair, I am excited about the opportunity to not only care for your children but also to become a part of your family and immerse myself in your culture. I am eager to share my own experiences and traditions while learning from yours, fostering a sense of mutual understanding and respect. In addition to childcare, I am more than willing to assist with light household duties and meal preparation, ensuring that your home runs smoothly and efficiently. I am also CPR and first aid certified, giving you peace of mind knowing that your children's safety is my top priority. Thank you for considering me as a potential member of your family. I am eager to learn more about you and your children and to see if we are the right fit for each other. I am confident that together, we can create beautiful memories and experiences that will last a lifetime. Warmest regards, Bea
Why I would make the perfect au pair
Hey there! Ever since I can remember, I've been surrounded by the boundless energy and curiosity of children. Through my years of teaching and working closely with kids, I've discovered something magical – the incredible amount of attention, love, and laughter they bring into our lives. Now, as I embark on this exciting journey as an au pair, I can't help but feel like I've stumbled upon the ultimate adventure. Why? Because I absolutely adore children, and I'm on a mission to sprinkle their days with joy, growth, and unforgettable experiences! Picture this: homework sessions turning into fun learning adventures, lunchtime becoming a culinary exploration of tastes and textures, and playtime transforming into a whirlwind of laughter and imagination. With my background as a teacher, I'm not just here to babysit – I'm here to be your child's cheerleader, mentor, and playmate rolled into one! So, whether it's diving into a storybook world, exploring the wonders of science, or simply sharing a goofy joke, I'm all in for creating a vibrant, loving, and exciting environment for your child to thrive in. Ready to embark on this incredible journey together? Let's make memories, laughter, and endless possibilities!
Hobbies and other interests
My hobbies include horse riding and hiking, both of which allow me to connect with nature and enjoy the freedom of the great outdoors. Additionally, I have a passion for writing and am currently working on a book. Cooking and baking bring me immense joy, and I relish the opportunity to experiment with new recipes and flavors. Another favorite pastime of mine is playing board games with my family – it's a fantastic way to bond and create lasting memories together. I am a very family-oriented person, and I cherish any opportunity to spend quality time with my loved ones. Whether it's a cozy night in with a homemade meal or an outdoor adventure, I thrive in the company of my family. I also enjoy fishing, finding peace and tranquility by the water while indulging in a favorite pastime.
