Hello Au Pair/Nanny,


I'm Brantley Powell from United Kingdom; I and my wife (Emily) need Au pair for my two kids which names are Robert & Ryan here in United Kingdom. Am a businessman who travel a lot to different type of countries for business while my wife work in here also in United Kingdom in one of the construction company. We are down to earth, blunt and take things the way they come. We are very friendly family and easy to get along with. You will have no problem in adapting to our lifestyle here. We will need your services due to the time commitment that is demanding by our job. We want you to know that you'll never have any cause to regret taking up this job as an Au Pair/Nanny in our family.


Ryan is Five years old, he is in Nursery school. He likes candy, chocolate and he likes watching cartoon movies and play Games. He also likes love to learn how to watch cloths and also cleaning of the house. He pays rapt attention to all what I does and tries to mimic those acts. While Robert is three years old; we just enrolled him at a Kindergarten school for this summer. He is welcoming and though he is young, he has a warm and friendly attitude. He likes playing a lot and i do not think you will have any problem with him so far he eats and plays well. They are very intelligent and love to take after people; this is the more reason I will appreciate someone with good qualities to be my kids Au Pair/Nanny so that they don’t take to bad influence. They love playing with people and also playing.


Your job is not a hard one, I do not believe in supervising or monitoring people to do their job. I believe people should be giving a free role in whatever they do .So I believe you should be able to perform well without being told. All entails preparing the kids for school in the morning, taking Robert & Ryan to the point where the school bus picks them up to school, help them with their home assignment, take them for shopping and also train them on how to clean their room’s e.t.c. You will have a free period then whereby you can do any vocation or practice whatever is at your disposal. Then you help monitor them after they are brought home by the school bus, just to make sure they are alright till my arrival or my wife from office.

You will be entitled to a pay of GBP 2,000 every month while you will also be given an entitlement of GBP 150 every week for petty expenses which you might need for yourself. This salary is subject to negotiations for an upward review upon your arrival. A well furnished Master bed room will be made available for your personal use soon as you get here. There will be your personal laptop connected to the internet, TV and other necessary gadgets at your disposal. There will be enough privacy for you; I guess you'll really like it.


You are free to start as soon as possible, I will appreciate you coming immediately but any date of your choice will also be welcome. You have every weekend as your off day as I will not be going to work during weekends except special overtime.
You will be free to study in any school of your choice soon as you get here. I will be helping you as regards tuition fees. There are so many colleges and Universities here that offer good and qualitative courses here. Let me know if you are ready to take up this position and how soon you can make it here.
