KIMBERLY, 26 YEARS

Dear future host family, My name is Kimberly, 26 years old from the Philippines and currently an au pair here in the Netherlands. My contract will end on September this year. I will describe myself as responsible, dependable, positive and a pro-active person. I decided to become an au pair to have an opportunity to stay longer around Europe, since I love travelling and I enjoy being around with kids. I thought it would be a nice combination and I can confirm ''it is indeed''! I want to become your next au pair and become part of your family most especially your children's life since I know that childcare is really my thing also, I enjoy the fond of being with kids. I want to utilise my background knowledge and skills in taking care for kids since I am really and more passionate working with them. I am also aware of the physical and emotional demands of working with children and the ideal combination of patience, energy, compassion, and responsibility. In addition to that, I am a trained first aider in BLS for both adult and pediatrics and have certifications with me. The ideal host family for me doesn't need to be perfect family that would take me as if their own child, as long as I feel I am welcomed and that I can be comfortable on my own skin, and the family would still be able to enjoy the things that they used to enjoy even before I started staying with them, if not better would be something that I really wish for them. Furthermore, I strongly believe that my passion and genuine desire to help parents meet their children's needs qualify me for the position of being your next au pair, as I have enjoy working to meet the needs of every people that I am helping and since it will also benefit me for my own growth. For my future plans after being an au pair, my next goal is to finish my studies and become a registered nurse someday and thank all the people who helped me in the process of slowly reaching my dreams. Thank you so much for taking time to read my letter and I look forward to hearing from you soon my future host family. Best, Kimberly Martinez
