This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.
If you are looking for an au pair job in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbrieviations after that).
Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential employer. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/
If you require any help with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.

She also likes playing a mother role cos she's always with me in the kitchen.She pays rapt attention to all i do and tries to mimic those acts she sees me perform in the kitchen,laundry and other activities. She is very intelligent and loves to take after people, this is the more reason i will appreciate someone with good qualities to be her aupair so that she doesn’t take to bad influence.
