it's a scam ?

Based on the poor English (which has a definite West African twang to it), I would say that yes it is a scam.

Dear Aupair,

A fun, energetic and pro-active LIVE IN Nanny is required to care of my
baby girl who will be 3 years old when this sole charge position commences. The
hours will be 25-27hours a week Monday – Friday so either a Nanny/Au pair who
lives locally OR an international Nanny would be considered. You must
be an experienced Nanny with baby experience and references to support
your application if any. A driver is not required. Salary £negotiable.Contact
me on my e-mail [email protected] to show your interest
then we can communicate further.

This position requires a confident nanny/aupair that is interested in
