If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £1800(One thousand eight hundred pounds sterling) every month with a weekly pocket money of £200.

Well now i've gotten my act together and sent an application to an Au Pair agency instead. This is ridicolous. Everyone is spammer.

The agency is Culture Care Au Pair. And they seem very reliable. But i just want to hear your opinions of them first. Always good to check up everything.

A quick search shows you should be very careful Click Here
I will need to look a lot closer before I can give you anything either way but it seems there are a few things to look into here.

Well i got a new mail.

Still from Aupair connect.

Your responsibilities/typical weekly schedule:

My ideal Au pair must have experience with children and enjoy spending time with them and should be responsible, active and have a positive attitude. I will need my Au pair to work 20 hours a week. The typical schedule will involve getting Mary back from school, making her lunch, and taking her home after school activities. You will also need to get Mary dressed, feed her, and play with her throughout your working hours. We are an active family and would like our Au pair to take the girl outside to play or on walks at least once a day if the weather is nice. We are a very neat family so I would like my Au pair to help keep the girl's room tidy and do the girl's laundry, dressed, feed her, and play with her.


My families' interests and weekend activities:
We are a very active family and we like to go to concerts, see plays at the local community theater, play tennis on weekends and take hiking trips. We would love to have an Au pair that enjoys swimming as we go to the beach at least twice a month in the summertime and Mary likes to spend the entire day splashing around in the ocean pretending to be a mermaid. Lilly (the family dog) loves Mary and we all go to the park on Sundays. We hope you love the outdoors and pets too. We try and sit down to dinner together as a family each night and talk about the days events. This is very important family time and we hope to have an Au pair who enjoys being part of our family.
