Dear Host Family,

Warm greetings from Indonesia! My name is Gracia, and I’m 26 years old. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of Manado, North Sulawesi. I come from a loving family and have been helping take care of my younger siblings since I was very young, especially while our parents were working. That experience helped shape me into the responsible, caring, and patient person I am today.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, and although my background is not in childcare, I’ve always had a deep love for children. I enjoy spending time with them, playing games, singing, telling stories, and just being a kind and safe presence. I also helped raise my nephew (he’s 5 years old now!), and it gave me so much joy to watch him grow and feel safe with me. I’ve also worked for 3 months as a babysitter, where I helped with both childcare and light housework.

At home, I’m used to doing chores like sweeping, washing dishes, wiping surfaces, and organizing. I’m someone who enjoys keeping things clean and cozy. I also love singing, exploring new music, learning new things (especially languages!), and watching heartwarming movies.

I’m interested in becoming an au pair because I want to experience new cultures, meet new people, and grow as a person. I would love to be part of a family where I can contribute and also learn from each other. I’m not perfect, but I’m very open to learning, I take responsibility seriously, and I truly care about people.

I’m flexible with the location, whether it’s a big city or a peaceful small town, as long as it’s safe and warm hearted. I’m not a picky eater, and I love trying new food (as long as it's not raw ?). I’m also open to helping with pets, doing errands, and light housework.

I hope to be not just a helper, but someone you and your children can truly feel comfortable with.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope we can connect and become a meaningful part of each other's journey.

Warm hugs from afar,
Gracia ?
