ELSIE, 21 YEARS

Dear prospective host family, Hello, I hope you are well. My name is Elsie Yuko. I am twenty years old and currently a third-year student pursuing a bachelor’s degree in Economics and statistics and also studying ACCA, in Kenya. As an aspiring au pair, I understand the significance of this role in providing support and care to children while immersing myself in a new cultural experience, and through extensive research and personal reflection, I have come to realize that being an au pair is not merely a job, but an opportunity to form meaningful connections with both children and their families. I have volunteered at local orphanages and remote schools, where I have had the opportunity to engage with children of various ages and backgrounds, which not only solidified my passion for working with children but also honed my ability to handle different situations with patience, empathy, and a sense of responsibility. I am also a highly adaptable and open-minded individual. I am eager to embrace new cultural experiences and immerse myself in your family's way of life. I believe that cultural exchange is a two-way street, and I am excited to share my own culture, language, and traditions, while also learning from yours. I am also an excellent listener, patient, and attentive, which will enable me to understand and respond to your family's needs effectively. I am committed to maintaining an open line of communication with you, as I believe that regular and honest dialogue is crucial for building trust and ensuring a harmonious environment. Lastly, I would like to emphasize my dedication and commitment to the well-being and safety of your children. I understand that entrusting someone with the care of your loved ones is a significant decision for any family. Rest assured, I will prioritize their safety above all else, ensuring a nurturing and secure environment at all times. I am genuinely excited about the opportunity to become a part of your family as an au pair. I am confident that I can provide exceptional care, support, and guidance to your children while fostering a positive and enriching experience for all of us. Thank you for considering, and I look forward to the possibility of joining your family. Sincerely, Elsie Yuko.
