Dear host family,
I´m very excited yet about getting to know you, but firstly I want to introduce myself to you a bit, to make your decision easier...
My name is Jesteene and I´m a 31-year-old female from Kingston, Jamaica. I live together with my children, my spouse and my disabled aunt-in-law in a very large community. My spouse and I are currently self-employed, and our children still attends school. We are a pretty large family. I have 3 younger siblings that I help to take care of along with younger nieces and nephews too. I have a good relationship with my family.
I would describe myself as reliable/responsible, energetic, caring, friendly, helpful, tolerant, cheerful, polite and intelligent individual. I try to make the best of every situation. I like spending time with my friends and family and have fun with them, listening to music, taking long walks on the beach, going shopping on the mall, taking photos, reading, dancing and singing. Singing is one of my biggest hobbies because I can sing very well . My friends and family are very important to me . I try to help them if they have problems and I´m always there for them. I am a creative and ambitious young woman because I have a lot of ideas about my future.
In 2010 I started working as a full time babysitter for a very small family. I also worked in Restaurants part time as a kitchen steward, a cashier and a food and drinks server. I do not have problems to help in the household. I really love cooking and I like to taste other types foods. I also love reading all kinds of books and discussing them.
The reason why I want to go to America as an aupair is because I want to gather valueable memories with a new family and get to know new friends. It was always a great dream of mine to live and work in a foreign country. I think it is a beautiful country with its beautiful lakes and nice “mountains”. I am fascinated by the marvelous landscape and from the nice people living in America. I would like to get to know the American way of life and different cultures. It would be great to improve my child care skills and become more independent, self-confident and open-minded by spending an exciting year abroad. Primarily it´s of course the time I´m going to spend with the children and the experience of an eventful year with you and your kids. I couldn´t imagine a life without children. I love to see them smiling and their shining eyes on christmas, their enthusiasm if they learned something new and their imaginative idea of the world.
I gained much experience with children mainly through having children of my own and my previous years of looking after younger siblings (brothers, sisters) also nieces and nephews, and babysitting jobs that I did in my spare time.
I hope we can develop a good relationship and work and live together as a family. I´m looking forward to talking to you.
Yours sincerely,
Jesteene
