EDCHELLE, 22 ÅR

My name is Edchelle Mae and I am 21 years old living here in the Philippines.You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair. I am currently living with my parents, I have 1 sister and 1 brother and I am the oldest. Apparently my mom is sick and I’m the breadwinner of our family that’s why I’m applying for this job I want to help my family and also I want to help you and it was a great opportunity to be part of your family. I can’t wait to explore more from the world and other countries afterwards! In my spare time, I love to play volleyball . During the last three summer holidays, I helped at a kids’ summer volleyball camp and was assigned to teach the youngest group of children the basics of volleyball . In between the short exercise lessons I was responsible for entertaining the children and we had lots of fun playing hide and seek, doing face paintings, colouring ins and many more games. I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me. I expect that in the first couple of days I will be exhausted at night because I guess taking care of children the whole time can be tiring. But I am sure that I will adapt to the new tasks and daily routine quickly and become a big help for you. Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things. I have never spent longer time abroad except from holidays but I am used to not seeing either my dad or my mom for one or two weeks so I don’t think I will become particular homesick. I am really curious to hear all about you and your children. The information I have read so far sounds really interesting. I hope you like my letter and I can’t wait to hear back from you. Thank you for reading my letter and kind regards, Edchelle Mae Mendoza
