Dear host family,

I am already very excited about getting to know you. But, first of all, I would like to introduce myself to you.

My name is Mon. I am 23 years old and from the big city of Bacolod in the Philippines. With my parents, Josefino (70) and Jane (70), and my brother Fin (36), I live in a house in an area full of nature. We have lots of dogs and chickens. My father works as a mechanic; my mother is a retired teacher. Fin is currently a lending collector. Overall, we are a small family.

I am reliable and caring and try to make the best of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are—as well as my family—very important to me. I'm always trying to help and always there for them if they need me.

In my free time, I like listening to music, shopping, or dancing. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies. Furthermore, I enjoy reading a good book and singing—even though I cannot sing.

At the moment, I am unemployed.

I did an apprenticeship as a human resource intern in a manufacturing company a year ago.

Since 2019, I have taken care of my two nieces. I have become very close to them, and I cherish the time I have spent with them. During this time, I have discovered how much fun it is to have children around; I can't imagine a life without them.

I want to go to Germany as an au pair to get to know the German way of life and different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. Of course, it would also be great to improve my German skills.

I hope we can develop a good relationship and work and live together as a family. I would happily experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you.

Yours sincerely,
Mon
