Dear Host Family,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. My name is Seiil, I am 24 years old and from Kyrgyzstan, located in Central Asia. I reside in the central city called Bishkek, a place that I hold close to my heart. I’ve graduated from Girne American University in North Cyprus.
My passion for becoming an au pair is deeply rooted in my extensive experience with children, particularly those aged 1 to 7 years old. Children, to me, represent the most beautiful and precious part of our lives. Since my own childhood, I have been consistently surrounded by my younger siblings, nieces, and nephews, which ignited my love for caring and nurturing children. My journey of working with children spans several years, during which I have not only provided care but also learned invaluable lessons from these young minds.
My nanny experience began at an early age, as I have four younger siblings in my family. Being the older sister, it was relatively easy for me to assist my mother with household chores and take care of my brothers and sisters. I gained valuable insights from my mother, and I am grateful for the experience.
Later, when I moved to another country as a student, I consistently worked as a babysitter during the summer months. For me, it was more than a job; it's what I love and enjoy doing. I've accumulated extensive experience working with various families, not only as a babysitter but also as a teacher of English and Turkish languages for children. I enjoy teaching through games and books, witnessing how children learn quickly and look up to us as examples. Therefore, I believe it's crucial for us to continuously set a good example for them.
I am an experienced and reliable babysitter with over 5 years of experience, serving as a trustworthy and dedicated caregiver for families. I am accustomed to working with children as young as 8 weeks old and am confident in caring for multiple children simultaneously. Recognizing that each family has its own rules and schedule, I am flexible and an easygoing person.
As an example, one of my host families, whom I loved working with, had a busy schedule for their sweet 4-year-old boy, Matvey, and 12-year-old daughter, Nastya. My daily responsibilities included starting the morning at 8 a.m., cooking a healthy breakfast as per the mother's preferences, feeding and dressing the children. We enjoyed morning walks with fresh sea air and engaged in educational games. After 2-hours nap children take, we participated in activities like swimming or other outings, depending on the day of the week. Since they were an active family, we had numerous trips around the cities. I ensured Nastya completed her homework on time, providing assistance when needed. By evening, their parents returned home, and I had the rest of the day free.
I consider myself fortunate to have met such wonderful and loving families in my life. I appreciate the trust they placed in me, opening the doors of their homes and believing in me; it means a lot for me.
As an international person, I have my favorite hobbies—I love to cook various types of traditional dishes from different countries and continuously learn new culinary skills. Similarly, I enjoy studying new languages and delving into their cultural and historical backgrounds. I hope we get a chance to know each other better so that I can experience your cultural life as well.
In conclusion, I would like to express my appreciation for your time. I am sure that I will be a really good friend and helper for you and your children. I hope for your answer and would be happy to work with you! I’m looking forward to meet you.
Best regards,
Seiil
