Dear Host Family,
thank you for taking the time to read my letter.

My name is Gina and I am 25 years old. You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair.

I am currently living with my brother in Pasay City Manila Philippines, which is a Capital City in the Philippines . My dad passed away 3 years ago while my Mom lived in the province of Bohol with my nephews and nieces. I've graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education. I can't wait to explore more at the same time and gain experiences from the world and other countries afterwards!

In my spare time, I love to play badminton and volleyball. I also love cooking, indeed I have experience as an assistant cook in my province. One of my favorite dishes is Marinated Pork, we call it here in the Philippines "Adobong Baboy".

I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. In fact I've experience being a nanny for almost 2 years since I've been a working student when I was studying senior high school. And also I've been handling elementary pupils during my practice teaching which made me know more how to assist and cater learners with their needs. I can say that I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me.

I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you.

Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I need to follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.

I am really curious to hear all about you and your children. The information I have read so far sounds really interesting. I hope you like my letter and I can’t wait to hear back from you.

Thank you for reading my letter and kind regards,
Gina
