Personal introduction

Dear Host Family, Hello! My name is Olivia, I am 27 years old and I come from Madagascar. I am a patient, kind, responsible, caring and organized person. I really enjoy spending time with children and being part of their everyday lives. Since I was a child, I have always enjoyed being around children, playing with them, taking care of them and sharing happy moments together. Although I do not have professional experience as an au pair yet, I have experience taking care of children in my family. I sometimes look after my nieces and cousins. These experiences have taught me to be patient, attentive and responsible, and to understand and respect children's needs. I would now like to start this wonderful adventure as an au pair. For me, being an au pair is more than just living abroad. It is a great opportunity to discover a new culture, improve my language skills, meet new people and share my own culture and traditions with my host family. My main goal is to help with the children's daily lives and well-being. I would be happy to play with them, read books, do creative activities, go for walks and help them with their daily routines. I would like to be a caring and trustworthy person whom the children feel comfortable with. I am also willing to take part in family life and help with everyday tasks. I can help with simple household chores such as tidying up, setting and clearing the table, doing small grocery shopping and helping to prepare meals. I also enjoy cooking, and I would be happy to prepare some Malagasy dishes and share a little of my culture with my host family. I also like animals. If my host family has pets, I would be happy to help take care of them, for example by feeding them, playing with them or taking them for walks, depending on the family's needs. I am looking for a kind, respectful, open-minded and easy-going host family with whom I can communicate openly. Most importantly, I hope to find a family who will warmly welcome me, make me feel comfortable and treat me as a true member of the family. I would also like to respect your family rules, habits and privacy. In my free time, I enjoy reading, listening to music, watching movies, window shopping and going for walks. I also love learning new things, discovering different cultures and travelling. After my au pair experience, I would like to return to Madagascar and continue my studies and career path. My professional goal is to become a lawyer and, in the future, specialize in international business law. I believe that living with a host family abroad will help me improve my language skills, become more independent and develop a better understanding of other cultures. I would be very happy to share this experience with your family, get to know you and become a trusted person for you and your children. I hope we can create a warm relationship based on trust, respect and good communication. Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter. I would be very happy to hear from you and get to know your family better. I look forward to hearing from you! Warm regards, Olivia
