Kadoma, Zimbabwe

*Dear Host Family,*

My name is Michelle, I’m 28 years old, and I’m from Zimbabwe. I would be honored to become your Au Pair.

I truly enjoy spending time with children. For the past 3 years I’ve been caring for kids, and it’s what I love most. I enjoy helping with homework, cooking healthy meals – I have a hospitality certificate – playing games, and making bedtime routines calm and fun. The best part of my day is seeing a child feel safe, happy, and proud of what they’ve learned.

I’m a patient, responsible, and energetic person. I’m also clean, organized, and comfortable with cooking, baking, and looking after pets. I don’t smoke, I’m reliable, and I’m happy to follow your family rules. I want to be part of your family, not just help out. I’m excited to learn about Italian culture, improve my Italian and English, and share my Zimbabwean food and traditions with you too.

Your family stood out to me because I love that you have pets, just like I do, and because you value outdoor activities – I’m very active and love spending time outside. I can already picture myself helping your child with school, doing crafts on rainy days, and joining your family for weekend adventures.

After my Au Pair year, I hope to continue studying and grow personally. But during the year, my focus will be 100% on your children and supporting you as a family.

Thank you for considering my application. I would be so happy to get to know you better on a video call.

*Warm hugs,*
