Personal introduction
I've always found different cultures fascinating and I want to explore the world. I want to meet new people, learn their language, explore their cuisine, and experience their culture with them. Becoming an au pair would bring that dream to life. It will allow me to deeply immerse myself in different cultures and form meaningful relationships with my host family.
Becoming an au pair is also a chance to enhance my language skills. I have been teaching myself basic Japanese and Spanish, and I want to reach native fluency in both languages.
The role would also allow me to further develop both my personal and professional skills. Caring for and mentoring children will help me build patience, improve my communication and increase my adaptability—skills that are essential for personal growth and will be beneficial in my future career. I can also apply the values I have gained being the eldest daughter in my family.
I also want to immerse myself in different cultures. I want to experience a life outside the Philippines. This is an opportunity to gain a first-hand understanding of another culture. Staying with a host family will allow me to experience their customs, beliefs, and traditions, which is an invaluable way to broaden my cultural perspective. A chance to enhance my understanding and appreciation for a different way of life.
Finally, living with a host family is a chance to build lasting relationships and create cherished memories. I also wish to impart Filipino culture, known for our warmth and close bonds. One of the most rewarding aspects of being an au pair is the opportunity to form close bonds with both the children and the parents, providing me with emotional support when I'm a long way from home.
