then come back and take care of your own needs and when it is 4pm you
will be required to go and pick her up also with regards to your
English course it last for just 2 hours. Saturdays and Sundays will be
your free day and your salary will be 250GBP per week i don't know if
this will be OK for you but that is what we can offer for now and we

your pocket money will be giving to you every Friday for your upkeep,
my husband is a nice and reputable man so sometimes he might decide to
add a little thing to you depending how caring you are to her daughter
because he cherish Rose so much.

I hope our communication and relationship would be a fruitful one.

All money transfered in this way will be stolen by the scammer.

This scammer also pretends to be a representative of Smart Au Pairs. Smart Au Pairs is a legitimate agency and a member of the International Au Pairs Association (IAPA) and the British Au Pairs Agency Association (BAPAA). Registering with an IAPA or BAPAA agency is the safest way to seek an au pair position.

This scammer, however, is NOT connected to Smart Au Pairs. The email below, recommending the fake Cinderella Marcoy, is part of the scam.

If you wish to contact the genuine Smart Au Pairs, please visit their website:

http://www.smartaupairs.com/

And to contact the agency, please only use the email address and phone numbers on the website's contact page here:
