How to write the best HOST FAMILY LETTER?

 

Host family letter together with the picture of you are usually the two influencing factors that decide whether the family choose you for a Skype meeting or not. As usually the first impression sticks with the person for a very long time and it is very difficult to change it, so take your time and make the best first impression possible. Be honest, funny, show experience with children and your maturity. Focus more on content rather than spotless grammar. The families don´t expect you to speak fluent English, but they expect you to take excellent care of their kids.

 

Host family letter should be min. 300 words long. Things to include are:

 

• Who you are (your family and friends).

• What your hobbies and interests are.

• Discuss your childcare experience and the children you cared for.

• Explain why and how you enjoyed the experience and what you learned from it.

• Tell them what you hope to gain from your experience on the program.

• What interests you about American families, children and culture?
