AIRA, 25 ÅR

Hello ! I sincerely hope that all is well with you and your family. I want to be an au pair, and I'm ready to be one soon. I'm looking forward to getting to know you. My name is Aira Castro Daracan, and I am 25 years old. I am single and have no children. I am blessed to have a lovely and hard-working family of four. Daracan Nestor and Castro Charina are my parents, and I have one sister, and she has one son, and she is happily married. Since I am the eldest, my parents thought of me as independent and responsible in taking care of the household chores. I have a pet dog named Hugo, but apparently he is not with me right now as he took my dad to our province in Cagayan Valley. I've had a great experience when it comes to childcare. I was a nanny for my aunt's family, which has two children, a 2-year-old baby girl and a 5-year-old girl, for 1 year and 2 months. I teach them educational activities such as counting numbers, recognizing letters, reading some simple words, and writing. I love taking care of them whenever their parents are not around because of their full-time jobs. And also, since I love children, I treat them as my siblings. I'm not used to untidy surroundings, so it's innate for me to like doing household chores as part of my daily routine. You can count on me for most of the daily hard work—cleaning, tidying, dishwashing, laundry, and vacuuming. I can cook and prepare simple meals for kids—not just simple meals, but also other dishes that may do since I am an undergrad in hospitality management—and also help them to assist every morning and talk about their schooling. I can play with them by dancing and singing, since these are my hobbies. Aside from the things mentioned above, personally, I spend my time reading self-help books whenever I have free time. I'm a foodie, so sometimes I cook some dishes. I like to go outside and walk, observing the surroundings and nature. I am a very patient, organized, flexible, understanding, lovable, and open-minded person. I value a genuine connection and good communication in relationships, which means being honest no matter what the situation is. As a young adult, I'm at the age where I'm aiming for growth and eager to explore. One of my dreams is to travel and have the opportunity to live in, learn about, and experience the culture firsthand. I want to make a positive impact on my host family by letting them experience the loving and caring Filipino culture, and that becoming an au pair is one of those great opportunities that I know I'm good at and fit for. I appreciate your thoughtful consideration, and I am genuinely eager to get to know and support my future host family. I hope to hear from you soon.
