Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to express my interest in becoming an au pair with your family.

My name is Mathilde, I am a young French student currently studying finance at a top business school in France. Starting in September, I will be taking part in an exchange program at ZHAW University in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. As part of this experience, I would love to live something truly enriching by joining a family, being helpful on a daily basis, and ideally improving my German skills — a language I am passionate about but rarely get to practice.

I have always had a strong connection with children. As the eldest of four siblings, I naturally took on responsibilities from a young age, learning patience and how to care for others. Alongside my studies, I worked for several years with two well-known French agencies: Kinougarde (specialized in childcare) and Complétude (specialized in tutoring and academic support). These jobs allowed me to further develop my teaching and communication skills while strengthening my ability to adapt to the needs of each child.

I am a responsible, reliable, and cheerful person, always happy to help and to create a warm and trusting environment. For me, becoming an au pair is not only about accommodation — it’s a human and cultural exchange based on mutual respect, support, and shared moments. I am committed to taking part in your family life, caring for your children with kindness, and contributing to daily tasks with energy and enthusiasm.

It would be a great honor to join your household and to bring my positivity, sense of responsibility, and motivation to your family. I remain at your disposal for any further information or interview you may need.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
Warm regards,
