Introduction to families

"Dear Family" message

Dear family, I am excited to apply for the position of au pair with your family. I have experience caring for children and am passionate about providing quality care. I look forward to getting to know you and your family, and to building a positive and lasting relationship. Thank you for your consideration.

Why I would make the perfect au pair

As an au pair, I am dedicated, patient, and creative. I love working with children and helping them learn and grow. I'm flexible and can adapt to the family's needs and schedule. I'm also a great communicator, and I'm always willing to help out around the house. I would love to be a part of your family and help make your lives easier.

Hobbies and other interests

I really enjoy knitting as it relaxes me so it would be fun teaching my host kids how to knit. Just this December I was introduced to fishing and I fell in love with it. I would love to own a nail bar one day so being a nail technician is definitely something I’m interested in.
