I know That looking for "A Perfect Nanny" like you can be a
long,frustrating and sometimes distressing task For a family,and i know
you are a highly experienced person whose primary charge is the children
and home keeping.

Your work is quite simple such as, cleaning
their rooms, doing their laundry, entertaining them, disciplining them,
teaching
them manners and caring for them when they are sick or upset,playing
with the kid and giving them love and attention. You should also be able to keep control of children without the use of anger,you will do the
children changing/ making the children beds, making the children meals
and tidying up the play area and children bedroom,spend time with the
children to play with them and educate them.

You will also do some duties such as meal prep, grocery shopping or errand running. These activities, if mutually agreeable, should occur either when the
children are in school (groceries or errands) or beperformed with the
children (meal prep), making this a learning activity Such as.

Reading stories and books,Scheduling activities for the children,Managing play
dates,Bringing the children to and from school,Helping with
homework,Attending any appointments or events that the child is required
to attend with them

I know you will make great friends,find joy/fun/happiness with my family , and I am satisfied at given you the opportunity to work in my home.

The grammar used and the fact that the scammer is telling you that you need to pay for a contract agreement letter means this is a scam.

Also, the UK is very limited on which countries they allow individuals to be au pairs from, so if you are not from a EU country or Iceland, Norway, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan or Monaco then you can not be an au pair in the UK.

Please can you post up the email address that this scammer is using.
