Kingdom,we are blessed with 2 amazing kids being Sarah and Brown,they
are very lovely and friendly children.

shall be your working periods for about 6hrs daily,and as soon as i am
back from work in the Afternoon,i shall take over the responsibilities

pocket money also making up to 1100 pounds every month,i shall provide
you with a separate apartment in our building,well equipped with basic
amenities that i think you shall needed.
Finally,i have had an Au pair for the month of 1 year and just
completed her contract last month,i wanted to extend her stay with my
family but she said she had an important program to attend to in
Philippines,we really adored her stay with our family because she had
impacted knowledge into our lovely kids.
We shall be expecting your quick response,because we really need you

Yes, it's a scam.

The English alone gives it away, as it is clearly African.

But even if the English were decent, the UK government only allows people from certain countries to become au pairs in UK. Philippines is not one of those countries. A real UK family would not have a recent au pair from Philippines, and they couldn't hire one now.
