Dear host family,
I am so happy to know that you are interested in my profile. I really hope you would enjoy
my story.
My name is ชื่อ , you can call me ชื่อเล่น. I am 22 years old. I was born in Valentine’s Day 1990. Now I live in Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand, with my family. My family has 5 members, my dad, my mom, my younger sister twins and me. I have grandmother. But she doesn’t live with us, she’s living in Nakornphathom, province near Bangkok. When I was young I lived with her, so I was being raised in Thai culture which gives me many attractive personal qualities such as; politeness, humility, gratefulness and restraint of negative emotions are highly values in Thai society. As you know it, Thais are well-known for their friendliness and great hospitality.
Our family is affectionate, when we gather together. When we have dinner we always share
our own experiences for a whole day. My parents own a small business about traveling.
That’s why I like to travel also. My twin sisters are studying in a famous university of
Thailand in faculty of architecture. Sometimes they have a lot of homeworks so my parents
and I have to help them. Even my house has a housemaid but everyone still has their own
duties to do chores. My duties are dishing and drying clothes in the sun. I am occasionally
be an assistant of my housemaid or accompany with my mom for grocery shopping.
The personal character of me, I am talkative, generous, patient, friendly, easy going, gentle,
warmth, reasonable, honest, has a sense of responsibility. Moreover I am open-minded girl
who try to learn new things around me. In my free times I will do activities; swimming and
cycling, I was trained to swim when I was young. So this is the reason, no matter if the kids
are going to swim I can take a good care of them. Another favorite hobby of me is reading.
I like to spend my free time to read many kinds of books, the most favorite kind of book
that I like is suspense novels .Recently I just read the books about how to develop child’s
brain and child’s physical in early age to preparing to take care them. Besides I also love
watching movies or American series such as Dexter, Samantha Who?, Fringe, CSI, Criminal
minds, Game of thrones, white collar etc. The reasons why I love watching movies is I want
to improve my English listening skill and to know about American culture and American
lifestyle. Watching movies makes me want to see the reality of American and I want to
travel there. Furthermore, I like to listen music and as far as I know that classical music is
good for child’s brain. I also surf the internet for knowledge because it is the best and easiest way of communication with each people who are far away.
My graduation, I have got a bachelor degree of engineering in petrochemical and polymeric
materials from Silpakorn University in March, 2012. I love my life while I was studying
because I have got a lot of friends there. I did activities with my friends. Some of my events
were; when Thai people faced the flood crisis. My university was set as a helping center. I
and my friends were volunteers to help the victims especially kids and elderly. We took care
kids and played with them to take off the stress and loneliness. And recently I was a
volunteer to help in Rotary Association to guide people in their summit in Thailand. My
responsibilities were an escort staff on the bus to pick up and send the members from hotel
to the meeting place for seven days. I serviced them with warm-hospitality. I got the certificate of attendance from this work, but more important thing is to help me to learn
people from different livelihood and culture background.
About childcare experiences over 400 hours, I have trained at Teddy Bear Daycare Nursery
for 200 hours. There are 11 children, aged about 1 year old to 2 years old. My
responsibilities were to feed them lunch and snack time with spoon, feeding milk with bottle,
showering and changing diapers, putting them to bed, playing with them, singing songs with
them, and telling stories. Besides I have observed the child development since at first day of
my training. For examples the instants; they are trying to walk, crawl, and try to speak etc.
Vince is a one-year-old boy who I take care of there; earlier he couldn’t walk then I was
practicing him to walk by holding his hand. The last day when I finished my work he could
walk a few steps to me by himself, 1 month later on I visited him because I missed him so
much and I have learned that he can walk already. So if I have a chance I would like to be a
caregiver of children that younger than 2 years old because I would like to be a part of their
development in early age. Additionally, I have trained at Baby Genius child’s brain
development center (learning through play group) for 240 hours, I was a helper for teachers
and helped them taking care kids in the classes. We usually had many activities; for example
teaching them alphabets, numbers, phonic sound, learning different things from pictures or
parachute, and etc. In addition, I also enjoy many activities with the kids such as painting,
crafting, coloring, playing games, singing, feeding them, teaching them how to clean their
hand correctly, teaching them to safe the energy, and keeping eyes on their safety during
their classes. Another course I was trained about basic life support and first aids for children
because keeping the child safe is the top priority.
The reason why I would like to be an Au pair, firstly I expect to improve my English
language for my future career and graduation which require good English skill. However, I
found out that my skill doesn’t good enough. I think Au pair program can help me to reach
my goal by take some interesting English courses, learning with native speaker, so I would
like to be a part of an American family. Secondly this program gives me a chance to gain the
wonderful experience. Lastly because I love children who need someone to take a good care
of their development; which both of their body and brain and I think I can do it very well.
Hopefully that my personal information and my qualification would fulfill to your
requirements of Au pair. I am looking forward to getting a good opportunity of being a part
of your family. Please kindly consider me as your Au pair. Thank you very much for your
attending my profile.
Sincerely yours,
