Hello Au pair,
We the family of Charles Williams Family will like to inform you that we are
British family working and living here in United Kingdom,we have a
lovely Son Vans.we have been taking care of him alone.

of our lovely Son each time we are not at home.
We are looking for an Au pair who is willing to stay with us for a
minimum of 4,6 Months or more if you so wish and if we find okay.
We saw your profile on eaupair.com, and we thought it wise to
contact you, to discuss the possibilities of having you as our Au pair
and as well as our family member in the spirit of cultural exchange.
We’re a laid-back and happy family.
This effectively means that we mainly hang out in the garden at home
or sometimes go out on day trips to just about anywhere; beaches,
country parks, adventure parks, activity farms, seaside towns, forest
walks… you name it. Vans is a very easy going and as such you can get
along with him easily.
This is our first time of hiring an Au pair so we would like to know
when you can be available.Please e mail us if you would like to discuss
the position with us.
If you are really interested in becoming our family Au pair kindly write to us.
Looking forward hearing from you soon.
Best regards.
Williams Family.
