Carta para a Host Family

E ai gente, tudo bem?? 

Hoje vim falar sobre a carta para a host family, dar algumas dicas e também mostrar a minha.

Bom, primeiro de tudo: não pire! respira, que no final dá tudo certo hahaha. 

Eu achei que a carta seria um bicho de sete cabeças, mas até que pra mim foi tranquilo, talvez por que eu fiz ela com muita antecedência, comecei desde o começo do ano. Mas não fiz tudo de uma vez, escrevia alguma coisa em um dia, ai passava algumas semanas, ia lá e escrevia mais um pouco... 

Enfim, primeiro de tudo, organize o que vai escrever em etapas. 

Eu fiz da seguinte forma:

1º Falar quem sou, onde moro, com quem moro e sobre minha família;

2º Falar sobre minha tatuagem (eu quis falar logo no segundo parágrafo pra família saber que eu tenho uma tatuagem, caso seja uma família que não goste, já fica sabendo desde o inicio rs);

3º Falar o que gosto de fazer quando estou livre;

4º Falar sobre minhas qualidades;

5º Minha experiência com as kids que cuidei;

6º Minha experiência dirigindo (acho isso um ponto muito importante, principalmente se, assim como eu, você tem pouco tempo de habilitação);

7º Sobre meus sonhos;

8º Porque quero ser au pair (capriche nessa parte!);

9º Minhas expectativas com o intercâmbio e final da carta. 

Você deve escrever no minimo 600 palavras, a minha no total deu 882. 

Hi Dear Host Family,

My name is Isabelle and I live in Brazil, Sao Paulo, Jundiai. I live with my mother Simone and with my dog Lara, I love pets and I would love to help if you have any cats or dogs. I'm studying Foreign Trade at college, and I will graduate on December 2015. My parents are divorced and my father lives in other city, but our relantionship is very good. I live by myself during the week, because my mom works in a different town and she comes home weekends only. I have a sister Natalia, she is married and she has a baby, my little nephew Vicenzo, he is 1 year.

I have a tattoo on my wrist written Wanderlust, that means a great desire to travel and to explore the world. I really love to travel, but not just to travel, I like to know people, to know new cultures, to be in a different place with different people, I like to learn with that. I've been to Italy, Switzerland and United Kindgdom, I stayed at my aunt’s house for one month, she lives in Switzerland for 9 years. This trip was my first internacional trip. 

In my free time I like to spend time with people that I love, my friends and family. I like to be home with them, watching movies, talking about anything, cooking new foods, watching my favorite TV shows. I like to swim, to read, look over the internet, to go out with my friends, go to concerts, go to the mall to do shopping, go to the restaurants, go to the park, to study, I like to walk with my dog, I like to dance and to play volleyball.

I’m a happy person, determinated, friendly, open minded, flexible and I have a lot of energy. I live by myself during the weeks, and I need to do my obligations by myself, then I'm very responsible and independent. 

I started my work with kids last year when a friend of mine had her second kid - baby Alice.  Usually I help her during the weekends watching Alice and her old brother Vinycius, who is now 6 years old. I cook for them, I feed them, I help Vinycius with his homework, we go to the park, we love to play outside and we have so much fun together.

I did a volunteer work at a children foundation. This place helps poor children and children doesn’t has a family. Each volunteer has to be responsible for a kid and  spend the entire day with them. We play games, talk, sing, dance, do arts and projects, eat lunch, read books, practice sports and teach them. The main goal of this project is make the kids feel loved and show them that they can have a better life.

Besides that I also babysitter Kauan, he is 7 years old and I always watch him while his parents go out for dinner or has meetings. I need to help him with his homework, help with his shower and prepare his meals. We love to play games, watch TV and go outside to ride a bike or play soccer. He is a very sweet boy and a great friend of mine. 

And I have a lovely nephew Vicenzo, he is one year old and I have been watching him since he was born. I have no words to explain how much I love him and I help my sister as much as I can. I help with his bath, change his dippers, feeding him, bed time and I prepare his bottle. I love to play with him and teach him.

I got my driver’s license last April and I have been driving since I got it. I did great with driving lessons and I love to drive. I also have experience driving with kids since I need to drive my nephew, I always need to pick him up and drop him off during the weekends and also drive him to the doctor or other activities.

I want to be an au pair because I love kids, they are so genuine and this makes me remember my childhood, it was the best time of my life. The au pair program will give me a big opportunity to improve my english, to know other culture, other people, to learn about the country. It’s going to be a big step for my life and for my career. 

When I come back to Brazil I want to get a great job and go back to school for my masters and one day I would love to have my own store. 

I would love to be part of your family, to spend some time together, to have a great relationship been honesty, friendly, and have a wonderful year. I hope you can teach me about their culture and I would love to share my culture too. I want to take care of your kids as a big sister with so much love.

If you want to know more about me or to have any question, please contact me. I’ll be happy to talk with you. 

Thanks for reading.

I hope to see you soon,

Bye,

Isabelle.
