I hope this letter finds you well. I would like to start this letter off by introducing myself to your family. My name is Sinteche , I am 20 years old, and I currently live in Cape Town, South Africa. In May I will be 21 years old. From a very young age, I have always had passion for caring for children. It has always been something that I felt connected to. Not only did I have a passion for caring for children, but it has always been a dream of mine to work abroad and explore a different country or city. I am excited to know that someday this will become a reality, and I can pursue what I have a passion for within a career. I am the eldest daughter of my family, and I have two younger siblings. The both of them are still in school and are currently 12 and 18 years old. As the eldest, I have always taken on the role of being someone who they can look up to. They have inspired me to work harder to achieve my goals and made me more of a responsible person. My mother, however, takes on the role of my greatest inspiration. Her love and support for her children and her dedication to taking care of us has made me the type of person I am today. I would say that my goal to take care of children is highly motivated by her unwavering dedication to raising me. She is employed as a manager at a delivery company and is a friendly person who loves talking to people which is something I possess as well. My father works as a driver for a car company and has always pushed me to pursue my goals. My experiences as the eldest daughter, as well as my experiences as a teacher’s assistant, Sunday school teacher, and babysitter for a family friend have shaped this dream of wanting to au pair. These roles have not only made it possible for me to become a caregiver but have also instilled in me a sense of responsibility, patience and the ability to adapt to my surroundings. I believe that these experiences have opened my eyes and shifted my focus to my future and where I would want to be in a year from now. I consider myself to be flexible as well as these experiences have made me work hard and helped me be more of an independent person. After graduating from high school in 2021, I set a personal goal to explore a different country, connect with new people, and immerse myself in diverse cultures. In 2024, I got my certificate from SKYY Aviation Academy, where I trained as a cabin crew member. Although this was a tedious process, I persevered knowing I would reap the fruits of my labor later. Currently, I work as a checking agent at Cape Town International Airport, a role that has helped me how communicate well with people as well as staying composed under pressure. While I appreciate the valuable skills I’ve gained in this role, my true passion lies in working closely with children and as well as having an opportunity to travel in a different place than where I came from. What excites me most about this experience is that am eager to learn about different cultures. It has always been a floating dream of mine since I was young to travel to a different country and explore different cultures, languages and food. As a fluent English speaker, I can help your children with language development, homework, and engaging conversations and in turn learn from them as well. Beyond just taking care of children, I enjoy cooking nutritious meals, keeping a tidy and organized space, and having fun with my friends. I am open-minded and excited to learn from new experiences and always take a hands on approach to opportunities that come my way. More than just an au pair, I hope to be a positive role model and someone who can offer you great support. I understand that inviting someone into your home is big decision to make and I want to assure you that I committed to respecting your family’s rules, routines and boundaries. My goal is to create a warm and supportive environment for your children where they are comfortable and happy, but it is also to improve my skills in my career growth by learning a new language, learning about myself and learning about others. I look forward to knowing more about your family and country. Thank you for the opportunity and I hope that I can be a fit role for your family. Kind regards, Sinteche
