ANA JEAN, 27 YEARS

Dear Host Family, I would like to properly introduce myself to you. My name is Ana Jean, and I'm a 27-year-old Filipino woman. I've been working for almost six years now since I graduated from college, and still thankful that I’m still surviving despite everything. I am very particular about the details of my work. Still, I also like to stay open-minded to new ideas, and I never want to close myself off to other people’s opinions because this passion led me to challenge myself daily and learn new skills that helped me to do better work. At my age, I had to deal with certain obligations like financially supporting my family for their needs and weekly allowance to school for my younger brother and sister. To support them, I had to sacrifice living alone and do all the housework for myself. But I'm not complaining because I want to repay them for everything, especially my parents for all the sacrifices that made me become who I am now. I also admit that I’m not all-knowing, but I'm willing to learn. I am passionate about working with children and love being around kids and helping them learn new things. I know that I will handle such big responsibilities, but I can assure you that you can trust me to take care of your children. My patience and ability to get along with others make me the best candidate for this position, and I will do my best to prove it. I really want to be an au pair not just to experience the culture of other countries, but also to gain new skills and challenge myself with no regrets. Also, I want to face the reality how it feels like being a far from my country because I think it will help me become the better me and test how strong I am as a person. I believe being an au pair will help me become more independent and responsible. Taking good care of my host family gives me more responsibility, but I will do my very best not to be a burden in your family. I know I can learn much from your family, and I look forward to having a harmonious relationship with you guys. Thank you for reading my profile. I really appreciate it.
