ZIPPORAH, 24 YEARS

Dear Host Family, My name is Zipporah Wandii, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as a potential au pair for your family. I am 24 years old and from Kenya. I have always been passionate about childcare and cultural exchange, and I believe being an au pair would be a wonderful way to combine these two interests. One of my strengths is my patience and ability to connect with children. I love creating fun and educational activities that allow kids to learn while having a great time. I am also very organized and dependable, which helps me manage tasks efficiently. However, I would say one of my weaknesses is that I tend to be a perfectionist at times, but I’m learning to balance this and focus on progress rather than perfection. I am open to caring for children between the ages of 0-18 years old. I enjoy working with children who are curious and eager to learn new things, but I’m adaptable and happy to work with children of various ages. I would ideally like to stay for 6 months to 2 years. I believe this length of time will give me a chance to truly integrate into your family and make a meaningful contribution to your children's lives. I envision life with your family as a warm, supportive experience where we can learn from each other. I look forward to becoming a part of your daily routines, whether it’s helping with schoolwork, taking care of the children, or enjoying family activities. I would love to create a strong bond with your children and support you as much as I can. I would love to be fully integrated into your family life. I believe this is a great way to build a close relationship and experience your culture more deeply. At the same time, I also value my independence and would appreciate having some personal time to explore or relax when needed. I am happy to help with a variety of tasks, including childcare, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and helping with school projects. I am also happy to assist with any other tasks that will make life easier for your family. I do not have any allergies. However, I am open to trying different foods and am happy to adapt to your family’s eating habits. Yes, I do have childcare experience! I have worked with children in children homes, babysitting, volunteering jobs in hospitals with children with special need. I am comfortable with children of all ages and enjoy helping them develop new skills. I am really excited about the possibility of becoming a part of your family and look forward to hearing more about your expectations and daily life. Thank you for considering me as your au pair! Warm regards, Zipporah Wandii,
