Anderson McCollin - LA

When I had got a letter from ' Mr. Dickson Brenard' , one person who says that his name's Anderson McCollin send me an e-mail too.
Before I answered to 'Brenard' i reply to 'McCollin' but don't wrote to him anything important about me ( as a phone number or photos of mine )
'Brenard's' mail was too good to be true, and when 'McCollin' send his second mail it was the same situation like Brenard.
I think ... Brenard...he changed two character's...Brenard = Bernard
I guess that the americans first and second name is sounds both like a family name, isn't it?
So maybe is he a scammer too?

Au pair/Nanny Service Needed

Dear Au pair/Nanny,

I need a person who is VERY responsible. My name is Anderson McCollin,my wife is Felicia McCollin while our only daughter is JENNY. My wife and I are both Police Detectives and our schedules during the week are VERY hectic. You will have steady days off which is Saturday and Sunday. You will be paid extra for anything over 35 hours a week. We live permanently in Los Angeles California USA .

We are a very fun & easy going family and we are looking for somebody to fit in with us.

ABOUT OUR FAMILY

My wife and I are both Police Detectives, my wife Felicia is from Germany. So we are pretty busy in addition to living a very spontaneous life. Having someone to assist us in all of this is the goal.

We live in a reasonably large home with just us so our Au pair gets a master bedroom to herself/himself on the bottom floor. We are on the second floor in a 5 bedroom home. Pool, Deck, Jacuzzi, Theater Room, tons of music and movies...we are very much movie buffs with a collection over 3000. Music is another passion of mine with a collection over 30,000 cd's. If you are music lover...you will be in heaven. Lol !!!

Jenny is 9 years old . Her hobbies are cycling ,inlines skating,jogging,badminton, soccer,dancing,swimming,She loves to play Polly Pockets etc . We are hoping to host an Au pair/Nanny to help expose our daughter to new culture.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM AN AU PAIR/NANNY

Basic household chores as one would have at home, cooking is a big bonus that I love but not a must.

Flexibility and fun in addition to an assumed love for children and watching them blossom are really the two most important attributes our Aupair must possess. Personality means a lot to us because that is what also is passed onto our daughter. You must have a good sense of humor and personality .

Our lives are also full of fun activities and we are on the go quite a bit so an adventurous, outdoors type person, enjoys sports, concerts, etc. is a good fit for us. We tend to drag our Aupair around with us, spoil her a bit and show her a good time. Life is about having fun for us . Lol !!!

SALARY AND ACCOMMODATION

Your monthly salary will be $1200 US Dollars and $150 weekly pocket money/allowance .

You will have a car for your private use with Jenny .

You will be provided with a comfortable accommodation with 24 hours free internet assess .

MY QUESTIONS FOR YOU:

Can u Drive perfectly?

Do u speak English fluently?

Can u cook?

Which country are you right now ?

Can you forward me your CV and some photos of you?

Do you have a valid working visa to work in U.S.A?

What years of experience do you have as an AU PAIR/NANNY ?

I wait to hear from you soon.

Best Regards

Anderson McCollin
