This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The au pair position does not exist.

The scammer also uses the email address: [email protected]

Hello,

Thanks for taking your time checking out our profile and for you mailing us.We're currently looking for an Au-pair who is ready to take care of my 2 giant kids haha, Aaron is 7yrs old and melissa 10 is . We live in Minot, North Dakota, USA, and i will be working as General Supervisor in a Walmart Store, While my husband works in the Military...hmmm i can't speak any language than English but my hubby is fluent in German, and french because he was transfered there some years back.

We are a very fun loving and happy family, we also like keeping fit, We are very patient when it comes to taking care of our kids cause kids need time to grow and would need some like a big sister to become a member of the family and take care of our kids.

We need someone who knows how to play with children, respond to them and engage at their level. Duties would involve supervising and helping with homework, playing, taking to activities, preparing supper for the kids and bath time help.

You need to be proactive, able to be firm, flexible and independent, able to make friends with other Nannies/ Au pairs in the area or otherwise keep yourself busy during the day. You need to be able to cook or follow a recipe. If you live in you will also be expected to eat with the Kids and encourage healthy eating habits

Daily light housework is all that is required as we have a full-time cleaner already who comes frequently but I need you to help tidy up in between times and keep the Children s rooms neat. You must be either fluent in English or have it as a first language. Someone who is active, likes to encourage painting/ arts and craft activities and isn’t afraid of children jumping on them or hugging them would do well.

The pay is just $800/week, plus food and accommodation. This is based on five full days; the other two days, you would be free! You would be entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday per year pro rate, to be taken during school holidays only. There is huge potential to earn extra money, by doing extra babysitting or cleaning for other local friends and families.


You will have your own private large bedroom, with TV/DVD and internet access. The bathroom has a (bath and shower).

We’d like you to:
• Be caring, reliable, honest, hard-working, cheerful and easy
going,have good commonsense and a level of independence
• Have previous Au pair/childcare experience
• Speak English
• Have excellent and check able references
• Be a non-smoker
• Have basic cooking skills
• Be energetic and enjoy the outdoors
• Driving license would be useful but not essential


get back to me as soon as possible if you're interested.

Lisa
