Dear Future Host Family,

Thank you for taking the time to visit my profile and learn a little about me.

My name is Celeste, but you can call me Ishi. I am 20 years old and come from the Philippines. I was born in Cagayan de Oro City and raised in the small town of Kalilangan, Bukidnon. I come from a close-knit family and am the eldest child with one younger brother. Growing up as the eldest taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of caring for others from a young age.

I graduated from Senior High School in 2023 and briefly studied Bachelor of Secondary Education majoring in English. Although I was unable to continue my studies, I remained passionate about learning and personal growth. Becoming an Au Pair is a dream of mine because it combines two things I truly enjoy: caring for children and experiencing new cultures.

Children have always been a big part of my life. From 2020 to 2021, I worked as a babysitter for a private family, helping care for children and supporting their daily routines. I also have experience caring for my nieces and nephews, including newborn babies. In addition, I have spent many years helping care for the children of a family from our church community. Over time, we became very close, and I continue to assist them with childcare and light household tasks whenever needed. These experiences have helped me develop patience, responsibility, and the ability to build strong and trusting relationships with children.

I genuinely enjoy spending time with children, whether it is playing games, helping with homework, reading stories, or simply listening to them talk about their day. I love seeing their creativity, curiosity, and unique personalities. I always strive to create a safe, caring, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and valued.

Outside of childcare, I enjoy photography, learning about different cultures, meeting new people, and spending quality time with family and friends. I am open-minded, easygoing, adaptable, and always willing to learn new things. I value kindness, respect, honesty, and meaningful connections with others.

As your Au Pair, I hope to become more than just someone who helps with childcare. I would love to become part of your family, share my Filipino culture with you, learn about your traditions and way of life, and create wonderful memories together. I am ready to help with childcare, children's daily routines, and light household tasks while bringing a positive attitude and genuine care into your home.

Thank you for considering me as your future Au Pair. I would be very happy to answer any questions and get to know your family better. I look forward to the possibility of becoming a caring, reliable, and trusted member of your family.

Warm regards,
Celeste Ishi
