Minha letter

Olá pessoal!!!

Espero que estejam todos bem!

Bom, no último sábado agora fui entregar meu APP na agência!!!huhuhu
Espero que as coisas andem daqui pra frente!!

Vou postar minha letter para vocês darem uma olhada e para ajudar as meninas que ainda vão começar o processo...

"Dear Host Family,
My name is Rachel, I am 21 years old and I’m from Brazil. I was born in a city called Cafelândia but I have lived in São Paulo since I was a baby. I live with my parents, Sara (49 years old) and Gilberto (73 years old), an older brother, Matheus (25 years old), a younger sister, Pamela (19 years old) and a little dog, Benjamin. We have an excellent relationship, we enjoy watching movies at home together and we share everything with each other.
My dad is retired and my mom is a cleaner, so I help my mother keep our house organized and clean, washing dishes and cooking. They gave me an excellent education and I’m very grateful to them. My parents support my decision because they know that it will be a very good experience for me.
I have two nephews and one niece, I love been with them and I spend as much time with them as possible. We enjoy playing puzzles, memory games, card games, soccer and we have a lot of fun together! 
I have two main experiences with children. The first one is with Sophia, I took care of her since she was 2 years old until 4 years old and today she’s 5. I used to play with Sophia, we spend a lot of time painting, drawing, helping with homework, playing at the park also I putting her to bed and she loves when I read stories to her! The other experience is with Kauê since he was born and today he’s 10 months. So I have already learned how to changing diapers, bottle feeding, spoon feeding, burping and bathing. I take care of them like my children and when I’m with them I give as much care and attention as possible.
I have a degree in Business Administration and I have been working in an office as an administrative assistant for over 3 years. Also I have been studying English for 6 years. When I return to my country I want to get a better job in my career and start a post graduation.
In July of last year I visited Vancouver in Canada for a month and a half during the vacation of my work and I really enjoyed my travel! I was hosted for a Philippines family and I loved to meet people from different countries with different cultures and I learned a lot from them!
In my free time I like to be with my family and friends. I like swimming, playing chess, reading romantic books, going to the movies with my friends, going shopping with my mother, riding bike at the park and listening to music at home.
I can describe myself as sincere, responsible, dedicated, organized, honest, patient and lovely. Everything I do, I do with love, determination and I always do my best and work hard to get it.
I decided to be an au pair because I’m fascinating to learn about others cultures, I love been with children, I think they have a lot of things to teach us and I enjoy to learn with them, I think that every day with children is different and it always brings me a new lesson, also to see new places, meet new people, to improve my English and my curriculum.
I think it's very interesting to be an Au Pair also to learn about the American lifestyle, to be able to learn new things and try new challenges in my life, so I can grow more as an independent person. 
I want to be a wonderful Au Pair for your children and really to be part of your family, I hope we can to develop an excellent relationship.
I hope we can meet soon!"
Me falem o que acharam!

Obrigada pelos cometários até agora!!!

Andamento do APP

Olá meninas!!!

Vim falar um pouco como anda o meu APP...

Já está quase tudo pronto, já fiz a carta, preenchi o APP online, a documentação está pronta e segunda-feira gravei o vídeo, porém ontem quando fui tentar fazer a edição do vídeo, para colocar fotos, músicas, essas coisas no movie maker ele não reconheceu meus vídeos que estão em mídia player :S
Além disso o próprio movie maker não está em nenhum dos formatos aceitos pelo site da APC :S

Sou totalmente leiga nesse assunto, nunca fiz um vídeo na minha vida! 
Alguém pode me ajudar, please! O que devo fazer?  

Bom é isso, não sei quando vou conseguir deixar esse vídeo pronto...

Em breve farei um post com a minha lettler para vcs verem...

Beijos
