This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This email was not sent from the UK; it was sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.71.167.69 - Awka, Nigeria.

My name is Mrs. Grace Garfield, am a Nurse and the name of my Husband is Mr. Hayman Garfield along side with our lovely daughters Mary, Sarah and Ann they are 4, 3 and 1.5 years old. My Husband work as a Consultant Doctor, he enjoys Sports but he is always busy in the office and he is a very hard working person, mean while my little angels likes visiting the park , coloring in, going cycling, playing outside, reading stories, playing with there toy cars etc.

Reasons for looking for an au pair is because we need help looking after our children, we are looking for an au pair to be a big sister or brother to our children and to become another member of our lovely and happy family. We will need you to drive our second car if you can and we shall arrange some driving lessons for you when you arrive, you may use this car for taking the kids to school and for your private use. There would also be medical insurance, vacation and other benefits which would be included in the contract and i promise you as your host mother that you will stay comfortably with my family because we are a Christian family.

We live in a city at (15 Black friars Street, Manchester, Salford, England UK), there is a nice English Class around our area, there is also one pub full of young people, a shop/post office and a hall where people get together to have parties. There is also a bus stop outside our house with direct access into the city center, there are other Au pairs living around our area you will have the time to attend to an English Lesson along with them and the cost will be taken care by my family if you are willing.

Our family is a fun loving family and during the weekends we all together visits the beach for the sake of catching fun it has become a part of us, we are indeed a lovely family who will love you to come and Join us as soon as you deem fit to come. I promise you that it is going to be a memorable and wonderful time for the family and we have longed for the moment when a lovely Au pair will come and join us.

I want to make everything move in a normal way without any problem because this is our first experience of hosting an Au pair. We love our little angels so much, so we wouldn't want anything that will hurt them and i have promised to be a good mum to them so that they will grow happily. Please all we want from you is to take good care of them, take them like your friend, your sisters, play with them and teach them some good cultural exchange.

You will eat and dine with us freely, we have a large house so your accommodation will be a live in apartment, 2 bed room flat, separate bathroom, with internet access, TV set, Telephone and some other good things that will make you feel at home because as a mother i know what is good for people both young and old.

We do not have any pets and we do not smoke as long as drinking is concern. My children attend kindergarten and their school is just some kilometers away from home, My little angels goes to school from 10am to 4pm which means they stays 6 hours in school so all you need to do is to take them to school when it is 10am then come back and take care of your own needs and when it is 4pm you will be required to go and pick them up also with regards to your English course it last for just 2 hours.

Saturdays and Sundays will be your free days and your salary will be 350GBP per week i don't know if this will be OK for you but that is what we can offer for now and we don't know how it goes because this is our first experience therefore 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 our kids because he cherish them so much.

Thanks for the lovely photos, I would like to receive your resume CV for perusal and show it to my husband for approval, do you have any Reference you can send to us? Our family Barrister works with the UK Home Office and that is good for us, as she informed me that you can get the Visa in one month so you can start a month from now. She said she would get back to us with detailed information to go about employing an au pair including the necessary steps to take to acquire legal au pair work and residence documents for the United Kingdom.

Once I get the necessary information, I'll send it to you so that you do not make any mistakes hence wait for my travel guidance. My Husbands direct mobile is +44 703 182 7510 should you wish to talk to him.
