Dear Family,

My name is Anne, and I am 25 years old. I currently live in the Philippines. I come from a family of four—my mother, Marlyn, is a housewife, and my father, Anecito, is a carpenter. I also have a younger brother, Angelo, who is 18 years old and currently studying.

I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in General Education and have five years of experience as a teacher, primarily working with children aged 3 to 10. I would love to take a break from teaching to experience a different culture, meet new people, and gain new life experiences. Spending a year abroad as an au pair would be an exciting and meaningful opportunity for me.

Regarding my experience with children, I have looked after my students when their parents were not around and guided them in learning how to read and write. I also enjoy organizing activities such as dancing, singing, arts and crafts, and outdoor play.

In my free time, I enjoy simple pleasures—spending time outdoors, going for walks, visiting new places, and reading a good book. I also love swimming and am a licensed scuba diver. I enjoy freediving for fun, which has helped me develop patience, discipline, and a deep appreciation for the ocean. Additionally, I love animals, especially dogs. I once had a dog for two years, but sadly, he passed away.

I am looking for a live-in arrangement with a host family who would be happy to have me as part of their home for at least six months. I would prefer to care for children between the ages of 2 to 10 years old.

I would be delighted to speak with you to answer any questions you may have about me or my childcare experience. I would also love to learn more about your family, interests, and expectations regarding the au pair arrangement.

Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you!

Yours sincerely,
Anne Marie
