Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear Host Family, thank you for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Espero and I am 24 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 with my mother, my 16 year old sister, my 13 year old brother and two dogs. My dad passed away to cancer in 2019.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

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. 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.

Hobbies and other interests

In my spare time I love listening to music, singing and playing instruments. I’m currently learning how to play a piano/keyboard. I also love outdoor adventures, travelling and exploring new places.
