Dear Family, My name is Guiomar. I am a Spanish girl and I live in Barcelona (Spain). I am a 22 year-old and I finished Advertising and Public Relations degree in the University of Barcelona. Now, I would like to stay in an English-speaking country to improve my English and get the IELTS test (International English Language Testing System). I really want to get this test to have more facilities to find a good job and to be accepted in the master degree. My first languages are Spanish and Catalan, and I am also fluent in English. I started learning English in primary school and I have in addition been taking courses in academies and private teachers. I also stayed in London one month studying English. Also, this summer, I was in two different primary schools of India teaching English classes to a 11, 12 and 13 year-old children (doing a volunteer activity in a NGO called REAL - Rural Education and Action for Liberation -). About my family, I come from a family of 4: my parents and my little brother, who has begun his degree in the University this year. When it comes to child care experience, I have take care for children in many occasions besides being teacher in the two schools of India which I said before and private teacher in Barcelona. I can say that I sincerely enjoy spending time with children. When it comes to leisure, I take pleasure in being with my family and friends, going for walks, doing exercise and sports, between others. As far as preferences are concerned, I am looking for a live-in arrangement with a host family, that would be happy to have me stay with and take care of the children. I would also prefer looking after children aged between one to 13 years. Lastly, although I am quite flexible, I would prefer to have working hours that would allow me to attend day time English language classes. I would be happy to have the opportunity to speak with you: to answer whatever questions you may have about me or my childcare experiences; to learn more about your family; your interests and to know more about what you expect from the au pair arrangement. Thank you very much for your interest in my application, I look forward to hearing from you. Yours Sincerely, Guiomar
