Dear Au pair/Nanny
We are a family of 4 living in California but we will be relocating to
London soon and we need an Au pair/nanny that can take good care of
our 2 children with little or no supervision. Kindly reply to this
email if you are interested and let us know of your available date.
Hoping to hear from you soon.

Thanks for the swift response, your profile is one of the profiles recommended to us by an aupair agent in UK whom i paid to help me search for a reliable and honest aupair. I have contacted you because i found your profile more suitable out of all the profiles sent to me by the aupair agent and i am glad to know that you are also interested in my family.
We read your reply and once again we will like to repeat to you that we are looking for someone very friendly who is prepared to be part of our family and look after our 2 kids appropriately when we get to London. Your main task will be to care for our adorable kids, Peter and Lilian whose ages are 5 and 7 respectively. Occasionally you will do light household work like cleaning and ironing.
You will take Peter to and from Kindergarten and also to play dates. He would be at nursery for 3 mornings per week at least in the beginning but this will be reviewed.
Peter is easy going and only grumpy when tired. At the same time he needs a lot of attention. Although most of the time he is calm but he can be tricky and he always needs someone to say no whenever he's wrong.
The kids will have their playroom in the house which will have a TV and toys and to keep them relax you will have to encourage them to watch TV i.e. cartoon.
Lilian is a bit troublesome too but very controllable. She likes to sleep most times but only cry when hungry .
You will be working for 40 hours weekly and we hope to pay £12 hourly plus bus ticket worth £67 weekly and we will also provide you with a mobile phone with some inclusive minutes each month and the rest would be your responsibility. We also hope to provide you access to our cars if you have driving experience but not all the time.
We have already secured a home in Brent street, London and all other living arrangement are also intact at the moment and we hope to arrive in London at any date from now.
Your duties which we expect you to discharge perfectly are Getting kid out of bed for a 10 minutes morning exercise by 8am. Getting Kelly dressed in the morning. Supervising her breakfast and lunch plus morning and afternoon snacks. Playing with her (age appropriate) to insure at least 60 minutes of exercise (can be split throughout the day). Doing education crafts & activities with her (age appropriate). Ensuring her optimal health and safety during your care. Keeping her room clean and organized. Doing laundry if necessary. Taking the Kelly to and from school and activities. Supervising play dates.
Do inform us in case you have any objections to this duties and suggesting what we can do about it.
I have not scan my pictures but i will try to do that soon and send them to you and i will like to know your exact arrival date.
Hoping to read from you ASAP.

Hi ruiaini

Yes, it is another scam,

African english grammar, rambling descriptions, payrate and benefits not at all in line with what an au-pair would be receiving.
