Hey girls, how are you?

Hoje venho postar pra vocês a minha letter e meu video do app.

Começando pelo minha letter :D

Dear Host Family

My name is Leticia, I am 23 years old. First of all I'd like to thank for having a look at my application and I would like to describe myself by this letter.

I was born in Sao Jose dos Campos city, in the state of Sao Paulo, in Brazil and I have lived here for 21 years with my mother, Salete (49) and my two sisters, Lidiane (20) and Laura (13).

I like my city because there is all I need: three malls, many parks around the town, lots of industries, e.g. Embraer. It is the capital of Paraiba Valley – River Paraiba links the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Nowadays I have been working in Sao Paulo for about two years, and I have been living with a girl that works with me. We share all the housework and expenses and I have learned a lot with this. Every weekend I go home in Sao Jose. My parents divorced eight years ago and today my father Marco (46) has another family, but he doesn’t have any kids.

Although I like quiet places because there are sometimes that we need some silence I like having fun as well. I love my family, we are very outgoing, my mother is very extrovert and we have great time at home where there is always a relaxed atmosphere. We get on well but sometimes we also argue, but soon it is everything under control. I can say I consider myself a person with strong opinion, but I am always open to listen to others. I am very affectionate, sensible, and co-operative. I can describe myself as a girl with an open mind, honest, sincere, reliable, kind, very emotional and hardworking. I am creative and an ambitious young woman because I have a lot of plans about my future. I like reading, swimming and all kinds of sports, as radical sports. I love travelling and watching movies too. I like animals very much. If I could I would have many of them.

I can drive very well, I have my driving license since 2010 and I drive frequently. I often travel by car at night, under the rain, on lanes and highways. So I have a lot of experience and have never had a car accident or traffic fines.

I started doing Business Administration University course in my town. I studied for one year and a half and I stopped because I moved to another city to work. I still think about restarting it, but in another area maybe. On the other hand, I also like inventions, creativity and mathematics, then I am thinking about studying Engineering. But these are plans to realize after this program, I know I can, while having some time to spend in USA, I can reinvent myself and change my ideas. And I am ready for it!

I love children, when I see one I prompt have a smile on my face, only because they are a kind of magic!
Since I have been working in São Paulo, I take care of a friend's child for three times a week, her name is Luiza, she is 3 years old. She is a little child of curly hair and brown eyes; she is very energetic, intelligent, creative and emotional. 
In my home town during my vacation I took care of two other friend's children, in their homes, Sofia, who is 2 years old and her one year old sister, Laila. They are very cute and smart. 
Also on my last vacation I took care at home of my little one year old cousin, Kauê, for three times a week, he is spectacular, very smart but quiet.
Among my experiences I was responsible for many things such as preparing bottles, taking the children for a walk, having lunch, playing games and entertain them. 

I think children are very special, energetic, innocent and pure, they see the world with different eyes than ours. The first and foremost thing that a child should get is respect from others, they are worth a lot! I think when the child grows up with respect it will be easier to teach them all main principles to become a great person. With little interaction with these children I learned how to take care of those that cannot do things by themselves and the amazing way they do making us forget our problems for a few minutes.

I know I will give the best of me, feel free to tell me, honestly, if I fail, because I think this will be the correct way for us to find the best for your children. 

I have never been abroad before and decided to be Au Pair in the United States because I think this is a wonderful country for us to improve ourselves as people and I will be able to improve the language for my life and career. I am very curious about different cultures and I believe it will be awesome. 
This experience of living abroad will make me be a better woman, more mature and self-confidence. And I hope my dreams become reality.

There is a statement I like, and I think there will summarize my stay in the US: "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we never, ever be the same."

The biggest reason for me to do this exchange is English. I love this language! I studied English in a school for six months and stopped. Now, I study with a private teacher two times a week and at home, with books and sites. My English is not very good yet but I can communicate, which I think it is not that good.
It was always a great dream of mine to live and work in a foreign country and I am really excited for it! My dreams will come true.

I promise I’ll take good care of your children, and I want to be their big sister, best friend and a part of your family. I hope you choose me to be your Au Pair, because I’m sure we’ll have a great time together.
As I said I am excited to find out what is to take part of an American family in their day by day life. 

Regards,
