JAHZMYNE, 23 ÅR

Dear Future Host Family, My name is Jahzmyne Jaime, but you can call me Bambi or Bam bam. I am a 23-year-old I was born on April 23, 2001. I am Filipina currently residing in General Santos City, Philippines. I graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Psychology from Notre Dame of Dadiangas University. I come from a family of five: my parents, Relly (53) and Rosalie (51) my older sister Jahzeel (25) and my younger brother James (20). My father works as a technician, and my mother is a housewife. Only my younger brother are still studying in college and pursuing him dream to become a priest. In the next year or two, I plan to pursue a higher degree in Psychology, although I have yet to decide on my area of specialization. Before returning to my academic path, I would like to gain some life experience and have time to reflect on my future professional goals. Spending a year abroad as an au pair would give me the opportunity to immerse myself in a new culture and experience family life in a different setting. My native language is Tagalog, I speak bisaya and Ilonggo as my dialect at home but I am also fluent in English and have a basic understanding of Dutch. I began learning English in primary school and it has been the primary language of instruction throughout my education, including at university. I am particularly interested in experiencing life with a host family abroad because it offers a unique cultural experience. I am eager to live with and work for a family, especially in a childcare role, where I can continue developing my skills. I have experience in both formal and informal childcare settings. As part of my university studies in child psychology, I completed a one-month internship at a children’s home, where I provided after-school tutoring and participated in various activities such as singing, dancing, games, art projects, and outdoor excursions with children aged 5 to 10. Additionally, I helped care for my niece for nearly three years and have tutored students. Growing up, I also helped my parents taking care for my younger brother and doing household chore with my older sister, and I have always enjoyed spending time with children. I also active in our church as a catechist during Flores De Mayo and as a liturgist In my free time, I enjoy simple pleasures such as spending time outdoors, walking, visiting new places with my friends, doing TikTok Video and Vlogs. I am looking for a live-in arrangement with a host family that would appreciate my assistance for at least a year. I am open to caring for children aged 0 to 15, and I am also happy to assist with elderly care if needed. I describe myself as Respectful, Honest, funny, Organized, trustworthy, Sweet, Caring, Flexible. I am hardworking, I possess good moral character, I am willing to accept changes and listen for improvement. I would love the opportunity to speak with you to answer any questions you may have about me and my childcare experience, as well as to learn more about your family and the au pair arrangement you’re seeking. Thank you very much for considering my application. I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely, Jahzmyne Jaime (Bambi)
