This is an au pair scam. There is no au pair position and no family, just a scammer trying to steal money from you. Don't fall for this scam.
Dear AuPair,
My Name is Bradley O'connor, My wife is Michelle. I am a Contractor and i live at 415 East 15th street, New York, 10009. We need an AuPair who will come take care of our Sweet 4 year old Britney because My wife is out of country for business and i am always busy with contracts and we both hardly have time for our daughter, I am a Registered family on easyaupair and here is my family link (http://www.easyaupair.com/viewprofilefamily/34621/) so we need an Aupair who will come live with us and take good care of our kid because our last aupair left some months ago. Email me back if you are interested in this offer so i can tell you more about your job here and more about my family. Hope to read from you soon.
Warm Regards.
Thanks for the email, I am glad you wrote me. My name is Bradley O'connor and my wife is Michelle, our daughter's name is Britney. We live in New York and We are usually busy with work, I and my wife work alot and sometimes we might go out of the country hence the reason why we need an aupair who can act as a mother not just taking care of her when we are not around and gone to work. Well currently my Cousin from Canada is in the house watching over my daughter Britney but I need an Aupair soonest so i will like to know when you do you want to start work. that means when do you plan on coming here. Because you will need a visa, work permit, residence permit and other important documents before you can come here but before we proceed on that, i need to be sure about who i am hiring and get to know her better, So i will be asking you further questions which i need you to answer so i can document them. The questions are below:
Where are you from?
How many are you in your family?
Can you speak English basically?
Are you easily angry or hot tempered?
Do you have much experience taking care of kids?
Have you worked as an Aupair before?
Have you ever traveled outside your home country?
Can you help with housework ?
Do you have a qualification either, high school, secondary, elementry, college or university?
Are you willing to Assist with light household duties ?
Do you smoke ?
Do you drink ?
Are you willing to look after my kid 24 hours a day, wake up in the morning, bath, dress and feed her, take her to school and bring her back?
Supervising homework ?
Preparing my Daughter's meals ?
telling her bed time stories and putting my daughter to bed ?
Supervising and playing with my Daughter ?
Helping to keep my Daughter's rooms tidy?
Doing Daughter's laundry ?
I am really in need of an AuPair, you can resume here anytime you can, My aupair would be paid $1,500 monthly and will also be given pocket money + benefits which when you sum it all together it would be more than the amount stated as monthly salary. I need someone who can work for a minimum of 6 months and maximum of 1 - 2 years depending on the duration you are willing to stay, it is negotiable. I will gladly assist my Aupair in making sure they get the right travel documents/visa.
I will be needing you to send me some pictures of yourself and that of your family or kids you have babysitted/aupair for. Also, to be rest assured you are a good citizen and free from crime, i need you to get me a crime certificate showing that you have not committed any crime in your country so i can be rest assured Britney is safe in your care. I uploaded some of my family pictures and pictures of Britney who you will be coming to look after. I hope you like them, I await your own pictures and response.
Bradley
