Dear Host Family,
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirit. My name is Shella Marie, and I am writing to express my genuine interest in becoming an au pair for your family. I am excited about the opportunity to join your household, take part in your daily life, and contribute to your children’s growth, happiness, and well-being.

I am from the Philippines and currently have the privilege of working as an au pair in Saudi Arabia. This experience has given me valuable insight into living with a host family, understanding cultural differences, and providing consistent, loving care to children. In my current role, I help with daily routines such as preparing meals, assisting with homework, organizing activities, and ensuring that the children feel safe and supported. I have learned the importance of patience, open communication, and flexibility—qualities I believe are essential for a successful au pair.
My motivation to continue working as an au pair comes from two passions: my love for children and my enthusiasm for cultural exchange. In addition to my experience in Saudi Arabia, I have also been involved in babysitting, teaching, and volunteering with children in my home country. These roles have allowed me to develop creativity, adaptability, and strong communication skills. I enjoy planning activities that are both fun and educational—whether it’s reading stories, doing arts and crafts, cooking simple recipes, or enjoying outdoor games.
I believe that children thrive when they feel safe, loved, and encouraged to explore the world around them. My childcare style combines structure with flexibility. I set gentle boundaries while giving children the freedom to express themselves and develop their interests. I value respect, kindness, and understanding in every interaction, and I always prioritize the children’s safety and emotional well-being.
One of the things I appreciate most about being an au pair is the chance to immerse myself in a new culture while sharing my own traditions. Living in Saudi Arabia has already broadened my perspective, taught me new customs, and deepened my appreciation for cultural diversity. I look forward to experiencing your family’s traditions, learning your language, and becoming part of your way of life, while also introducing you to aspects of my own background.
I enjoy cooking, baking, reading, and spending time outdoors. I love preparing healthy meals and snacks for children, and I find that cooking together can be a fun way to bond. I also enjoy activities such as hiking, playing sports, or doing creative projects, and I would be happy to share these with your family. I am confident that my responsible nature, childcare experience, and enthusiasm for learning make me a strong candidate for your family. I am committed to creating a warm, safe, and positive environment for your children while supporting your household in any way I can.
Thank you for considering me as your future au pair. I would be honored to join your family and look forward to creating unforgettable memories together.
