We have a really great cleaner, so there wouldn't be any heavy housework. There is a bit of light cleaning

and laundry which would take about 90 minutes a day in total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language school, and there are a lot of good ones in the area.

Living arrangements:

The au pair would have her own room, which is huge, and has a double bed, with sitting area and TV/DVD/Video/Hifi. There is wireless broadband internet in the house. You can even use one of our cars all weekend! Also 2 weeks are paid holiday during Christmas/New Year plus another 2 weeks during the year. We are looking for someone with a good sense of humour.If you love children and could help us provide a loving environment combining routine and fun for the
children then we would like to welcome you to our family as a friend and a big sister to our kids. Housework is not an important part of the aupair’s job, being part of our family and helping our children develop and learn is the main thing. We are really flexible.

This scammer also pretends to be Mr and Mrs Johnson Ronald. You can see the same +447024054712 'mobile number' used for the fake Mr and Mrs Johnson Ronald here:

viewtopic.php?f=42&t=20588

Like all telephone numbers beginning +4470, this is not a normal UK mobile phone number; it is a 'redirect' number, redirecting all calls to a mobile phone somewhere else in the world. In this case, it will redirect all calls to the scammer's mobile phone in Nigeria.

As before, this email was sent from Nigeria: IP address 83.143.14.206 - Aba, Nigeria.
