JILLIAN, 26 YEARS

Dear Host Family, thank you for taking the time to read my letter. My name is Jillian Ruth and I am 26 years old. You surely get a lot of these letters from prospective Au Pairs, but rest assured, you will not regret to read about my reasons why I want to become your Au Pair. I am currently living with my mother, my 12 year old sister and two dogs in Tarlac ,which is a big city in the North Philippines. My dad lives with his new wife and son half an hour away but I see him regularly. .I can’t wait to explore more from the world and other countries afterwards! In my spare time, I love to play volleyball. During the last three summer holidays, I helped at a kids’ summer volleyball camp and was assigned to teach the youngest group of children the basics of volleyball. In between the short exercise lessons I was responsible for entertaining the children and we had lots of fun playing hide and seek, doing face paintings, colouring ins and many more games. I also love reading, especially English novels. One of my favorite authors is Ken Follet and I can’t wait to have access to an English Library to browse through all the literature I like! . I would love to become your next Au Pair because I love children and enjoy spending time with them. I am prepared and I am well aware of the fact that being like a big sister for your children comes along with responsibilities for them and it will not always be just play and fun. My calm and patient personality will help me to master more difficult situations for instance when the kids are tired or don’t want to listen to me. Living with me is really easy as I am not a demanding person. I do respect that the house is your house and that I have follow your house rules. If something works not quite as it should, I prefer to talk instead of ignoring things.
