My name is Chelsea Lydia, and I am 25 years old from Kenya. I have recently completed my Bachelor of Science in Telecommunications degree, which has equipped me with strong problem-solving skills, discipline, and a high level of responsibility. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, caring, and adaptable. I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and creating a positive and supportive environment for them. In my free time, I love cooking, swimming, engaging in arts and crafts, and watching movies and animations, which I also enjoy sharing with children as fun and creative activities. I come from a family of five, with two parents and three siblings, including myself. I have two younger siblings, and growing up in this environment has taught me important values such as respect, cooperation, and responsibility. I have also taken an active role in caring for my younger siblings, which has strengthened my nurturing and caregiving skills. I would like to become an au pair because I enjoy working with children and would love the opportunity to experience a new culture while becoming part of a family. I am especially excited about learning Dutch as a new language and immersing myself in a different way of life, while also sharing my own culture and background. In terms of childcare experience, I have regularly looked after my younger siblings, done babysitting, and volunteered in a school setting. Through these experiences, I have developed skills such as supervising children, preparing simple meals, helping with homework, and engaging them in fun, educational, and ageappropriate activities. After my au pair year, I plan to return to Kenya and continue building my career using the skills and experience I will have gained during my year as an au pair. I believe this opportunity will help me grow both personally and professionally while preparing me for my long-term goals. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. I look forward to the possibility of becoming part of your family. Kind regards, Chelsea Lydia
