Dear host family,

I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you.

My name is Mary-Jane. I am 25 years old and from the small province of Cagayan. With my parents, Pascual (49) and Juana (54), my brother Mark-Anthony (26) and my niece Joana Marie (5), I am living in a house that is located in an area full of nature. My father works as a Tricycle drive, my mother is raising pigs while my brother work as sales clerk and my niece was in a Kindergarten
I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me.
In my free time, I like to listen to music, clean my apartment and cook good food for me.
At the moment, I work as a sales secretary checking weekly reports, preparing and finalizing monthly report.
When my niece was 2years old I am the one taking care of her. As I really want to experience having a sister gladly i get a niece to experience how it would be. So I've been taking care of her until she was 4.
Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them.
The reason why I want to go to work as an au pair is that I want to get to know living abroad the way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. And of course, it would be great to improve my skills as well.


I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you
