Hello Host Family,

My name is Nagisha, but you can call me Gisha. I am 22 years old from Indonesia. I am a responsible person who enjoys spending time with children. As the oldest sister in my family, I grew up helping and caring for others. This taught me patience, independence, and attentiveness from a young age.

I recently graduated from university, and honestly, I felt a little unsure about what I want to do next. I tried looking back on my college years and realized that the moments I loved the most were volunteering with children and people with special needs. I loved simply being with them. Asking what they enjoy, playing, cooking, or going outside together brought me so much joy. Even with quiet or shy children, I enjoyed finding ways to connect and earn their trust.

During a community service program, the daughter of my host family didn’t talk much at first. With patience and care, we became very close. These moments became some of the most meaningful memories of my life. Through these experiences, I learned empathy, patience, and flexibility. I also gained an understanding of the importance of emotional connection, routines, and clear communication with parents. These experiences also make me believe that I am well prepared to take on the responsibilities of an au pair.

I see myself as an open minded and adaptable person who loves learning from others and trying new things. I hope to bring positivity, joy, and a caring presence to your home, and to support your children in growing and enjoying new experiences. I chose the Netherlands because I feel it is safe, values family life, and has clear au pair regulations. I am excited to experience a new culture and be someone your children feel comfortable with and can trust.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. I would be happy to meet your family and hopefully become part of your home.

Warm regards,
Nagisha (Gisha)
