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 Esther. I am 33 years old and from Nigeria. I live with my husband, Amos (40) and my children Victory (10), Miracle (3) and Dunamis (1+). Overall, we are a pretty large family, I have ten cousins.
I would describe myself as a reliable and caring person, who tries to make the best out of every situation. I like spending time with my friends; they are – as well as my family – very important to me. Always trying to help, I’m always there for them if they need me.
In my free time, I like to listen to music, go shopping or dance. Dancing is one of my favorite hobbies and I am also teaching young children at a local dancing club. Furthermore, I enjoy reading a good book and singing – even though I cannot sing. Every summer, I supervise children at a local football camp. It is always a lot of fun! Being a huge fan of the German football club FC. I am going to the stadium very often to support the team. I enjoy the job of babysitting very much, because I am able to bond with many of my customers.
Four years ago I did an apprenticeship as a media clerk in a small publishing house. Before the apprenticeship I completed my secondary school.
For the past ten years, I took care of children of all ages from different families. I became very close to them and I cherish the time I have spent with them. Through this time, I have found out how much fun it is to have children around, I can’t imagine a life without them.
The reason why I want to go to the USA as an au pair is that I want to get to know the American way of life as well as different cultures. Most importantly, it would be a great chance to spend an entire year taking care of children. And of course, it would be great to improve my English skills as well.

I hope we can develop a good relationship, working and living together as a family. I would be very happy to experience an eventful year with you and your kids. I am looking forward to talking to you.

Yours sincerely
Esther
