As part of your Au Pair Application, you will have to write a Dear Host Family Letter.

We assist you from the beginning, right until the end – and beyond.

Below you will find some tips and tricks to write a dashing Dear Host Family Letter!

 

 

Personal Introduction: 

 

 

 

Introduce yourself to the family – they want to get to know you better.

Briefly talk about your family, your interest, hobbies and your cute dogs!!

 

 

Childcare Experience: 

 

Now is your time to shine!!

 

 

Explain your experience in great detail.

The host family must see that their kids will be in good hands – elaborate on your duties, the ages of the kids you worked with and all the fun you had with them. 

 

Now is a good time to include any special experience you had with kids, such as working with neurodiverse children. 

 

Keep in mind that experience with children under the age of two years will boost your profile a whole lot!

 

What is your why? 

 

 

The host family want to know your WHY. Why do you want to become an Au Pair Abroad? 

 

There are many different reasons for someone to become an Au Pair – are you doing it for the right reasons?

 

The Au Pair program is a cultural exchange program – and you are part of someone’s upbringing – make every second count!

 

Life After: 

 

 

What would you like to achieve with the Au Pair experience?

 

Which goals would you like to achieve? 

 

 

Tell this to the host family – they would really appreciate it!

They want to know how they can support you. 

 

 

Ending the letter off: 

 

 

 

Thank the host family for their time to read through the letter – always stay polite. 

 

 

Tell the prospective host family that you are looking forward to (hopefully) joining their family in the near future. 

 

 

Make sure your Dear Host Family Letter comes across as polite, fun and informative. 

 

 

That’s it for now!
