Brief an die Gastfamilie

Dear Future Host Family,

How are you doing today? Let me introduce myself, my name is Maryjoy, however, everyone calls me Marj, I am from the Philippines, currently living in Manila, and I just turned 26 last November. I am a Human Resource Development and Management student, and I’m just finishing my internship which lets me work remotely and with a flexi time arrangement. I am currently working as a Customer Representative in a healthcare account to sustain my needs as I am living independently. If you were to ask the people around me as to how they would describe me, they would say I am very diligent, out-going, approachable, understanding, and patient.I also have a dog that just turned 2, so if you have pets, you don’t have to worry as I also have an experience in terms of cleaning after them, giving them a bath, talking them out for a walk, and playtime. I also have an experience in organizing events, in case you need help with decorating, hosting or planning. As a 26-year old, it has always been my dream to visit different countries as I love learning about different cultures. So when I knew about the Aupair program, I immediately grabbed the opportunity to give it a try. At first, I felt down, because they said the program is only until 26 years of age, but I didn’t stop there, so I learned that to be an aupair, you just have to be 26 at most when processing your visa, so here I am taking my chances so I would be able to live my dream. Asides from being the eldest in my family, where I was obligated to look after my younger siblings, I was able to also take care of my nieces and nephews, even my friends’ kids too. Due to those experiences, I have learned that every kid is different, yes, they’re kids, they cry, make a mess, and it’s hard to get their attention in order for them to do the necessary things like getting ready for school, meal time, doing their homework, and getting them ready for bed. From the different types of children I had to take care of, I’ve learned how sometimes the reward system works, while it doesn’t work on the others. I’ve learned to do different techniques on how to make them follow the rules, and instructions given to me by their parents. I’ve also learned how to handle different tantrums, how to appease them specially in public. I once had to take care of my friend’s son who was only a year old, and he usually throws a fit every time we went out with his parents, so the second time he did this, I made sure that I knew how to keep him calm. I took note of the things that brings interest and for him not to feel anxious, as I noticed his tantrums came from having strangers around him. Whenever he would have tantrums, I see to it that he would always have his favorite teddy to keep him calm, and I also made sure to make him feel safe by getting his attention every time he’s about to cry. When I was 15, I took care of my niece who was only 6 months old at the time. It was when I learned how to change diapers, prepare her milk, and how to give baths to babies who were just a few months old. I saw how I enjoyed learning different techniques on how to put her to sleep, and as she grew older, it became tough because she was a very picky eater to the point I had to make a story and cut her food into shapes to narrate the story as she eats them. I still watch after her now that she’s 12 whenever my cousin would have work and my niece’s nanny would go to their province. Alongside with taking care of her brother, who is my nephew. My nephew just turned 1 last year, and let me tell you, he’s a real handful. He would usually cry out of spite because he loves to go outside or to walk around. Aside from watching kids, I also know how to cook meals, and do light household chores such as sweeping, making the bed, cleaning the windows, washing plates, and laundry. I also know how to organize things, light cleaning since I do general cleaning at my place every Sunday. I’m very eager to learn new things, and I adjust easily. I also take constructive criticisms very well. During my free time, I would be reading books, and as of the moment, I am currently reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, which has been really helpful to me. My favorite motto would be, “live below your means” – which means; you plan your budget for less than you earn. If you earn $1000/month, then live and spend like you only earn $700. See? I can also help with budgeting, and of course, groceries! On a personal note, I am a student leader, and what that experience have taught me is how to be able to get along with the people around you offer assistance in all ways possible, and on how to be very patient. Coming to Europe has always been a dream for me, and it would be a great honor if I was given a chance to go. After my au pair year, as much as it saddens me, the worst scenario wold be to come back home right away, but if great opportunities come, I would not have second thoughts on taking it.

I hope to hear from you soon!

All the love;
Marj
