I have decided to find an Au pair because I need help looking after my child. I am looking for an Au pair to be a big sister or brother to my child and to

become a member of our family.

My name is Daniel Rigsby and I am 49 years old and i am a single dad i lost my wife last year to an auto crash.

I live in a three bedroom house in 24 Howard Dr and have a son , Justin is 2 and half years and he is a lovely kid.

My kids likes to go to the parks once a week.

I will require you to take care of my son for about 30hrs a week. I will be paying you $3,650 while you will have weekends free and we will pay you $370 per week pocket money which we will

give to you every Friday.

Our residence is very open and near the city and there are other au pairs close by. There is also a good language school and we will encourage you to go for

lessons there to learn English if you wish to. In the area there is one pub full of young people, a shop/post office and a hall where people get together to

have parties. There is also a bus stop outside our house with direct access into the city center.

You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom either live in or live out fully furnished , plus desk phone and computer system with internet.

I do not have any pets and I do not smoke. I am a single Father but i have a girl who is coming to join me soon and we live happily.

I need an Au pair to start with us soon and stay until at least 6 months or more. We will need you to drive our second car if you can and I shall arrange

some driving lessons for you when you arrive. You may use this car for taking the children to school, going to your English classes and for your private use.

Do tell us when you will be free to start up duties with us.And do send your Pictures for perusal and also your resume.

I am a fun young family looking for a kind hearted fun Au pair to mix in with our family.

However have it in mind that we shall both shoulder the cost of your papers to bridge trust between we your employer and your our employee and that only is

contact address is (24 Howard Dr) Am a medical doctor by profession
I work for W.H.O (World Health Organization) I do travel a lot.. I

the only one left at home with kid..You will not be working too much
in the house at all..Your duties is to take the kid to school,House
caretaker,Domestic Helper,(IF YOU HAVE A DRIVING LICENSE)you can use
my car to do that,Bringing them back from school and play with them,

snacks and foods,entertain them in the evening when you come back..You
will have your Private Room which will have Bathroom, Toilet, ,
Air-Conditional. You will have access to the Internet and a Telephone
at home to get in touch with your friends and loved ones. You will be

you have enough time for yourself.

My offer for you will be $370 for your weekly pocket money for your primary needs,and i will
be paying you $3,650 monthly..Which i think is okay for you. There is
another Au pair around the town that you can pass time with so that
you will not be able to feel lonely,sometimes when Justin go to
school.Please I want an Au pair that is friendly and honest that have
God fearing for my son cos I really love them and I can't afford to
let them get hurt.I will like you to email me too all about you and
I'll also like to have your cell phone number plus area in your reply.
I can assure you that when you come you will be treated like one
family and you will be very happy to work with my family. If you think
you have interest in my family,That my family is a kind of family you
are looking for i think this is the next step to take....Regarding the
traveling.You don't need to look further cos i want to introduce you
to one of my Designated Travel agency that made it possible for my
Friends last Au pair Roseline from Mexico...The agency is good and legal i am
sure they will help you out.
All you have to do is to send them an email and make inquiries
for what you need to be able to come hear in the USA,don't forget to
tell them you are from me and i will email them too all about what
they can do to help you out. After having said all of these i would
like to let you know that I would not be responsible for all your
traveling expenses from the point of your departure to my place where
you would be resuming your duty post , in any means . I am very sorry
that this is my stand on this sponsorship issue of your simply because
I have experienced different dishonesty from various Au pair which I
have tried to employ and help by sponsoring them in getting over to
the U.S to my place all this while . About 2 Au pairs did absconded
at the airport as i was going to the airport to have them picked up to
resume at my house , more so I did sent money to about 3 other which
did kept quiet and never responded after I did sent them the money to
help them process their document, the last one requested that I send
her my documents , so that her agent can help me process the documents
that she would need to get over here , at the end of the day she never
turned up and my lawyer warned me never to send such document outside
the U.S again that it was very risky . This was also the reason why I
order my profile deleted from the site because it contains some
information about me

I am letting you know all this simply because I am trying to let
you know that , I would prefer an Au pair who would be capable for some
of her expenses and be able to sponsor her VISA fee over here to the U.S
by herself While i shoulder the rest fee from my end here including the flight ticket.
I am very sorry if i have sounded terrible and make you
feel disappointing but these are just grief from what I have suffered
and experienced in the past from dishonesty of different Au pair. So if
we have to go by my family agency I will see what I can do do give you
a hand but am not assuring you. I will stop here now until I read back
from you. Looking forward to hearing from yous soon.Have a nice day,

Kind Regards,

Daniel Rigsby.

Dear Au pair,

Thanks for taking your time to get back to me.... I want you to understand that i am capable of paying for your flight ticket and visa fee but i want you to pay for

your visa fee as security before you arrive to USA, i have been scammed before by paying for the visa fee for a woman i wanted to employ as an Au pair some months

ago, i also allow her to process her papers in her country and i send money to her but she only use me to get into USA and ran away to her family here which i don't

know her where about, paying for your visa by yourself will stand as proof and security between us in order to bridge the trust between us and once you get here i will

refund it back to you and would be glad if you understand me. Processing your papers with agency is safer and faster cause it is directly from the USA consulate here

and once your papers is ready my agency will mail it to you through United parcel Service along with the signed contract from me and you Air ticket. After discussing

your employment with my family travel agency, I have decided that you match my requirements so please the Agency for the processing of your papers to come over.

I received approval from Attorney to employ you. You are to contact my agency through email for the processing of you papers and send a scanned copy of passport and

indicate your travel date (For Flight Booking which I shall pay for) , to the staff at US Home Affairs Agency in charge of my application for the Certificate of

Eligibility for their records and advice to us which address is below:
