I hope you are doing well as I write this message. My name is Erica and I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to join your family as an Aupair. But first of all, I would like to introduce myself. I am born and raised in Camiling, Tarlac, Philippines. I am 23 years old. I came from a family of 5 and I am the youngest. I finished my Bachelor's Degree at Tarlac Agricultural University with the degree of Bachelor of Animal Science. Despite of having an animal science background in education, I have gained an essential skills and experiences that make me a good fit or qualified for an au pair position. I love doing household chores because my parents instilled us the essence of work ethics. They trained us when we are still young to do household chores like sweeping the floor even our small backyard, cleaning the house, washing clothes and dishes, watering plants and cooking. I really love and enjoy cooking specially new recipes and experimenting food. That's why this is my one of my passion. I can cook adobo, sinigang, pancit and pinakbet these are some of the well-known dishes/ foods here in the Philippines. Aside from that, I can also cook pasta's like Filipino style spaghetti, carbonara, and baked mac. I have a genuine passion of taking of children. I have a nephew and his name is Marc Jared, a 7 years old boy which is so "makulit" or in english playful/stubborn. I am the one who taking care of my nephew since he was 3 year old up until now. They entrusted me their child because they know I can handle him. I teach him to write and read simple/basic words and sentences. He also likes doing mathematical solving like addition and subtraction and I really love it. We play a lot outside and inside. I am also the one who prepare meals for him, bring and pick him up to school. Now that he started to discover the world on his own, I have to discover mine too. I also gained a lot of experience in taking care of children when I worked as a nanny here in our country. I took good care of 3 children ages 1, 4, and 7. I help my former employer raised their children for 1 year and 2 months. I also gained experience in caregiving here in Philippines. I took care a senior citizen a retired military officer and 77 years old. I also used to be his nanny at the same time. I clean their house everyday and cook meals for them. I believe with this experience, I would able to provide the same level of care and attention to your children and family. I really love and enjoy staying with a host family that have two or more children, because I really like children. I love taking care of them, because they are so cute, innocent, funny, lovable and very adorable. I love doing some activities for example: cooking, gardening, watching Netflix and sports like biking and basketball. I do also love to sing, but my voice may not the be best, but it makes me happy 🙂 . Other interests are traveling and sightseeing beautiful places in the world. If should find myself with some spare time, I would likely spend it with the children; teaching them activities like cooking and having fun with them. I am really passionate about taking care of children and to do house hold chores, because it can help me grow and to be prepared to be a good future wife someday maybe at my 40's. I heard about the 'Aupair' and it seemed really interesting to me; the program between host families and the cultural exchange system. I really want to learn and experience the culture and language of other countries. I have the conscience that I can truly say, that I am capable of being a good Au Pair for your family. If I should describe myself then I would say that I'm passionate, responsible, patient, honest, open, respectful, reliable, dedicated, trustworthy and hardworking. I would be eternally grateful, if I could get the opportunity to live with your family and prove myself. Looking forward of meeting you my future host family. Best regards from Philippines, Erica the Au Pair
