LOUISE, 31 YEARS

To Host Family,

Good Day!
My name is Louise Tangaro Suson, female, comes from Can-asujan, Carcar City, Cebu, Philippines. I am 25 years old. A graduate of Bachelor of Arts in English major in Language in Cebu Normal University located at Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City, Cebu., I am jolly, Helpful, understanding and most of all responsible..

I come from a family of eight (8): My parents are Romeo, 55 years old and Cecilia, 53 years old. I have 3 sisters and 2 brothers. My eldest sister Rocel is 29 years old, following my second eldest sister Faith who is now 28 years old, both are married and with children of their own, then followed by me. After then, the fourth sibling of mine is a male, unfortunately died because of asthma. The fifth one is also a male, now 21 years old and my youngest sister is now 13 years old and currently in grade school.

When it comes to child care experience, I have looked after children mostly like my younger brothers and sister, nieces and nephew, and my cousins with the age range of 1 to 7 years old. I engage in their activities like we played games, dancing, singing or to whatever they may feel like they wanted to do.

My experience in house keeping came from part time job i did when i was still in college, i used to work in locale hotel in my extra time to help my family by earning some money, but also it gives me some experience specially i think house keeping is quite useful in being an au pair, also by doing the job, i learn to fit in with my co employees, meet different people, for me it was fun to do the work, and my co employees are actually really nice people and helpful. i had great time during those days of my part time job.

I can cook Italian, Chinese, Thai, a little bit of Mexican, Filipino cuisines and I can bake, too. As for Italian, I can make spaghetti, lasagna and pizzas. For Chinese, I can make dim sum, egg fried rice and chow mien, as for Thai, I can make Thai chicken and sweet potato soup and fried rice with prawns & peas, then for Mexican, I can cook like Mexican egg roll and bean enchiladas. Additionally, for Filipino cuisines, I can prepare adobo, tinola, pasta, porridge, spicy monggo, lumpiang gulay, fried fish, omelet, and everything that simply fried. Also, I can make simple desserts like pancake, salad, mango float and the like. But if there is certain cuisine that the host family wanted to, then, I delightedly and willingly to be taught and learnt about it.

When it comes to relaxation, I take pleasure in the simple things in life. I enjoy being outdoors, being with my friends, going for walks or a jog, visiting places I have not been to, I also enjoy watching movies and reading a good book in rainy days.

As far as preferences are concerned, I am looking for a live-in arrangement with a host family, that would be happy to have me stay with and work for them for at least 12 to 24 months. I am quite flexible, I can do any kind of household chores like putting away their belongings, doing the laundry, folding and putting away clean clothes, vacuuming, sweeping, dusting, setting the table, clearing the table, washing and putting away the dishes, mopping floors, scrubbing the sink, toilet, bathtub, shower stall, and know a bit of cooking or baking which can be of any help for you in the future. Moreover, I can drive too, which can also be a benefit in sending your child/ children to and from the school, or driving you to supermarket.
Lastly, I would prefer to have working hours that would allow me to attend a day time language classes or training or seminars that would foster my existing knowledge.

I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you: to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences; to learn more about your family; your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement.

Thank you very much for your interest in my application!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely yours,
Louise
