Personal introduction

Dear Future Host Family, My name is Emily, I’m 25 years old, and I’m from Scotland. I currently work with adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), a role that has not only deepened my understanding of neurodiversity but also highlighted how naturally I connect with others—especially children. Alongside this, I help run my local youth theatre, where I work with children weekly during rehearsals. These experiences have sparked a passion in me that I plan to pursue further through a master’s degree in drama therapy, specialising in ASD. I’m excited about the opportunity to become an au pair and nanny because it combines everything I love—working with children, supporting others, and experiencing life through different cultures. I believe being an au pair is more than just a job; it’s about becoming part of a family and creating lasting connections while offering genuine care and support to the children I look after. Families should consider hosting me because I bring not only hands-on experience with both children and individuals with ASD, but also a genuine enthusiasm for creating a positive, engaging environment. I’m bubbly, outgoing, and always enthusiastic about learning and developing my skills. Children tend to gravitate towards me, and I love encouraging their creativity and confidence—whether through play, storytelling, or theatre. With my background in care, youth theatre, and film and media, I bring a unique blend of empathy, communication skills, and creativity to the role. My future goal of becoming a drama therapist shows my commitment to making a lasting difference in young people’s lives. I would love the chance to bring that same care and energy into your home. Thank you for considering me—I look forward to the possibility of joining your family and growing together through this experience. Warm regards, Emily
