A MOTIVATION LETTER
Dear Host Family,
I am writing to express my interest in becoming an au pair for your family in Austria. My
name is Linet wairimu, and I am a responsible, caring, and culturally curious individual from
Kenya with a strong passion for working with children and exploring new cultures. Over the
years, I have gained valuable experience in childcare by supporting younger siblings and
caring for children in my community. These experiences have helped me develop patience,
empathy, and a deep understanding of children's needs. I enjoy creating fun, safe, and
educational environments where children can thrive. I am also comfortable assisting with
light household duties, preparing simple meals, and maintaining a structured and positive
daily routine for children. Austria is a country I admire for its rich culture, strong family
values, and beautiful landscapes "I am particularly excited about immersing myself in
Austrian everyday life, building meaningful connections, and sharing my own cultural
background and perspectives with those I meet." I believe this experience will help me grow
personally and professionally while allowing me to share elements of my own Kenyan
heritage with your family. As an au pair, I am committed to being a reliable, respectful, and
engaged member of your household. I understand the importance of trust and open
communication in building a strong relationship with both the children and parents. My goal
is to contribute positively to your family's well-being while gaining meaningful experiences
through cultural exchange. Thank you for considering my application. I would be honored to
be part of your family and support your daily life with kindness, responsibility, and
enthusiasm. I am available for a video call at your convenience to further discuss how I can
meet your family's needs.
Yours sincerely,
Linet wairimu
