Hi There

Thanks for your mail... .We are a loving family and we are looking
for a live-in/live out nanny. There may be times where you will not
keep my Kathy all week, and in order to compensate for the weekly pay
light house keeping will be required. job requires car-pooling,
helping with homework and cleaning the house and doing laundry. Must
love children, and must be organized, active, clean, enthusiastic, a
go-getter, friendly, caring, patient and loving. Kathy our only
child and daughter who is 5yrs old plays a very important role
in our family, Ever since she was born,the family has never remained
the same for good.I and my husband will do anything to make Kathy and
her nanny happy as well.Kathy's' prefect day is a warm morning when
she knows she has her nanny around to cater for her.She loves to eat
any good food but more of cereals,and she does take nap during the
day.There 're just the three of us in the house hopefully you will be
the fourth person. If you live-in with us, you'll get to have your own
toilet and bathroom,including a personal computer connected to the
internet in your room. Now a little about us,I own a shop back home
and my husband is an International Business Man which enables us to
travel to different continents on vacations. We live a very simple
life and we have a big
apartment though its just three of us in the house,hope you can join
us on a trip someday..

We were formally located in Alabama, where my shop is presently
located, i am planning on bringing it over so that i could have more
time to monitor it very well... We went for the vacation 1 week after
we moved in, so we don't really know places yet.. We are looking for
someone that we can treat as part of our family/friend and not just
as a nanny/aupair. my husband and I are easy to get along with you, i
want to make you feel comfortable and at home, like to act silly, are
easy going, and down to earth. We would like our aupair/nanny to be a
comfortable care giving partner/companion/sister who is caring,
flexible, and will have fun with our family.We would really enjoy a
light-hearted, fun, and enthusiastic person who's ready for a neat
American experience with a young, active family. We have an extremely
supporting family here in the area, and the Kids grandparents play
very active roles in their lives. presently we're on vacation on
board an European line cruiser and We shall be back, before the July.
7th.,We are relocating to your city area but i haven't get the

that and when we get back to the states i'll drive to your house to
bring you down to the address.

with you for 6 months also we'll be glad if you continue to work with
us. But In other for us to secure you for this Job We'll be sending

for vacation I ordered for some baby items for my daughter, And i was
told that it has been delivered to the states, From my agents in US.
There's no way i can send them their money since we're on board a ship
right now. The Agents has been very good to me and i don't want to
jeopardize the relationship between us.After I and my husband pondered
for a long time on how to resolve this issue, Because they are on my
neck, I thought that you should be in the best position to help me
out...So a check of $3,561.99 will be sent to you and you will be
depositing the check to your account and once you have the money
available you will deduct the upfront payment as i had stated earlier
and once you deduct the $500 upfront payment then, you will have the
remaining money sent to the agent. I hope you understand better.The
payment We'll be sending you is just for us to have you booked down.

If I get any border for the day, I might take the liberty of baiting this one... and the other scammers I have on my back. Seriously, for every legit babysitter/nanny position I apply to, and for every parent I'm contacted by via my craigslist ad, I get like 5 scammers. They like wasting my time, so hell, it's time I started wasting a sh**load of theirs.

Hello Addie,

Thank you for posting this and other scams.

Please remember, though, that scammers are criminals, and that they will have personal information about you. If, when you realise that you have been communicating with a scammer, you simply stop all contact, the scammer will assume that either you discovered it was a scam, or that you are no longer interested in his offer. And he will soon forget all about you, and focus instead on the au pairs and nannys who are still writing to him, and who he hopes to steal from.

If you deliberately waste his time, though, and he suspects you of doing this, he may become angry, and harrass you. This would be, at best, unpleasant, but may even be worrying or scary for you.

It is possible to 'bait' scammers, but this must be done totally anonymously, with no profile or advert or detail or email address or name connected with your real-life information. You can read more about this at our sister site 419 Eater:

http://www.419eater.com

If the scammer has been in contact with the 'real you', however, please don't continue any emailing once you realise that he is a scammer. Stay safe.

Thanks Chris. I'll Certainly take your advice! If I can be of any help to others out there by wasting the time of these scammers, than I'd like to do so. After all, I do have extra time on my hands, and I'll definitely practice safe baiting.
