I am writing to express my sincere interest in becoming your au pair in New Zealand. I am

excited about the opportunity to work with your family.

Firstly, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Ayla Baas and I am from The
Netherlands. I am a 17-year-old responsible, outgoing, and caring person with a passion for
working with children. I have experience in childcare, having worked as a babysitter and
volunteer at a local daycare center. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

I am drawn to the idea of becoming an au pair because it allows me to combine my love of

children with my desire to travel and experience new cultures. I believe that being an au pair
is not just about providing childcare but also about becoming a part of the family and
contributing to the household in a meaningful way. I am confident that I would be able to
provide a fun, safe, and nurturing environment for your children.

In addition to my childcare experience, I am also fluent in English and have a basic

understanding of but I would like to get the change to improve. I am a quick learner and am
eager to immerse myself in the local culture and language. I am also a responsible and
reliable person but sometimes a little bit chaotic.

Furthermore, I am an active person who enjoys hiking, swimming, and exploring new places.
I believe that New Zealand offers a unique opportunity to experience nature and adventure,
and I am excited about the possibility of sharing these experiences with your family.

Finally, I would like to express my enthusiasm for the opportunity to become a part of your
family. I am eager to learn more about your family, your routines, and your culture. I would
be incredibly grateful if you would give me this opportunity.1

I hope I have given you enough information. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Yours sincerely,

Handtekening

Ayla Baas
