My name is Hary Mendoza, I am 24 years old and I am from Barranquilla, Colombia. I consider myself a responsible, caring, patient and friendly person. I enjoy spending time with children, helping them, playing with them and supporting them in their daily activities. I come from a close and loving family. My father, Sergio Mendoza, is a firefighter, my mother, Luz Mery Gil, is a homemaker, and I have an older brother, Sergio luis Mendoza, who is a firefighter too. My family has taught me the importance of respect, responsibility, kindness and good values. I am currently taking care of two children, one who is 2 years old and another who is 5 years old. I enjoy playing with them, helping them with their routines, keeping them entertained, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I am a Catholic and my faith is an important part of my life. Regarding my education, I studied Airport Passenger Service at SENA and completed my practical training at the airline Avianca and I’m about to graduate. I have also obtained certificates in areas such as first aid. My English level is intermediate, and I am motivated to continue improving it. I am also very interested in learning Dutch and getting to know the culture of the Netherlands. I would love to become an au pair because I want to have a meaningful cultural experience, improve my language skills and become more independent while being part of a host family. I would be happy to help with the children, accompany them in their routines, play with them and contribute to a positive and loving environment. Since I have never been to the Netherlands, I am especially excited to discover the country. I would love to visit places such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam, Utrecht, Giethoorn and the Dutch coast, while learning about Dutch traditions, food, history and everyday life. I hope to find a welcoming family with whom I can share my culture and experiences while also becoming part of their family. I would be very happy to take care of your children with love, patience and responsibility. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I hope to meet you soon!
