Hi! First and foremost, I would like to thank you for giving your time considering this letter. If fate lands in my favor and you get to choose me, I will be very excited to meet and experience being part of your lovely family. I would like to introduce myself. I am Ailene Joyce Galman, a 24-year-old Filipina, currently living in the Philippines with my family. I have 2 sisters; I’m the middle child and the joker of the family. I used to joke a lot—that’s why. I grew up having a strong and unbreakable bond with both of my eldest and youngest sisters because that’s how my parents taught us to be. I have a bachelor’s degree in secondary education with a major in English and a minor in Mandarin, so I worked in academic fields with lots of kids. With these experiences, I have learned different ways on how to handle kids with different learning methods. I also realized and experienced firsthand that children have different levels of understanding. I have practiced being patient and loving to the kids who are not part of my family but feel like one. Im an empathetic; I can easily feel when other people are in pain, when they are happy or sad, or when they need space. That’s how I am; people around me are always telling me that I can easily get along with since I have a jolly and welcoming personality. Being like this, I could say that I have a soft heart for kids; I always have this urge to nurture, teach, and care for them. I’m also aware that choosing the most capable and best aupair for your family isn’t an easy job, as you have to consider lots of things. But if you will give me a chance, I can assure you that your decision will not go to waste. I will not disappoint; your kids will learn different things from me; they will get the chance to experience other cultures, try different cuisines from Asian countries, and learn different languages. I can cook and introduce them to new tastes, as I am to explore and learn your culture too. I hope you can help me make my dream to experience this Aupair program into reality. Your time and consideration are highly appreciated. Best regards, Ailene Joyce R. Galman.
