Dear Au pair,

How are you doing? We hope this mail meets you in good health and hope
you and your family are doing wonderfully well? It is great to hear
from you and we pray eventually you will join our family. We are in
dire need of someone who can come into our home and take good care of
our daughter and most especially give her special attention. We need
someone charismatic and who is wonderful with children. An Au pair who
will love our little angel exactly the way we do. We love having fun
and we are positive you will enjoy the experience in our home.

My name is Philip Richards, 45 an accountant, my wife is Maria,she is 36
and a nurse. Our only daughter Lucy is 3 years old and still attending
pre-school. We live in a spacious lovely home in London, United
Kingdom. My wife used to take care of Lucy but since she started work
a few months ago we decided to put her in day care. But we are not
really comfortable with the day care center arrangement, we need
someone who will be able to see to Lucy's immediate needs and give her
special attention. So that is why we contacted you. Although we have a
babysitter who comes by a couple days a week we need someone with more
experience and who can give our daughter the care she needs and who
will love her just the way we do.

We are searching for someone special to enter the family and take care
of our beloved daughter and also take care of our home when my wife
and I are away. Someone who appreciates family values and is ready and
willing to be a special friend and 'big
sister/brother if you like to our daughter. We enjoy doing all sorts
of fun things such as going to the movies,barbecue,arts,having
friends and neighbors over for lunch, swimming,going to the amusement
park.

Our daughter enjoys her baby books. We also love cooking and making
special delicacies.We are a young family and we love doing fun things
such as weekend
trips to our cabin where we go fishing, hunting and camping. My wife
makes the best grilled fish in the world if I may add. She also loves
to cook so we usually have family and friends over for dinner parties
and barbecues. We also have family weekends on Sundays after church(we
are Anglicans) where we meet with our extended family members and just
have fun and talk about the previous week. Lucy loves this because she
gets to meet and play with her cousins. Lucy is very special to us and
she is also gifted. She loves sports, arts, computer games. music and
takes piano lessons twice a week. She is also very funny and lights up
the house with her big smile and funny baby jokes.

Our daughter is a very fun and energetic young lady full of life and
happiness. She is a joy to be around and we want the best for her. We
are confident the two of you will get along and get to know each other
so much better.

However due to our tight job schedules we do not always have time to
be there for her. So we basically need you to take care of her for a
few hours till we return. London is a lovely city full of life and we
are positive you will love it here.

We will pay for all document and travel expenses. Kindly send us your
resume and recent pictures of you so we may know more about you and
perhaps some of the work you have done and if satisfied we will
clarify you more about the more important details and working
conditions including your salary and other matters before finally
sending you a contract letter to make you an official and legal member
of our small but nice family.

Regards to you and your family and we hope to hear from you. All the best.

God bless.

Warmest Regards,
Richards Family

Lucy. My wife and I will take sometime to discuss and we will let you

and care for our child just as we do and we know the two of you will
get along well. We hope you will be a part of our family soon and get
to know us better and also share experiences with us.

We would like to clarify you some more;

We live in a four (4) bedroom house at 18 Lyndhurst Gardens NW35NR,
London United Kingdom. Our residence is very open and in the city and
there are other Au pairs close by. In the area there is a pub full of
young people, there is also a bus stop outside our house with city
center. We also have parks,cinemas,restaurants,malls,etc around. So it
will be easy to make friends and go places.

We will require you to take good care of Lucy and see to her needs for
approximately 30hrs a week. You will generally see to her immediate
needs and clean up after her. You will have weekends free and be
entitled to all holidays and we will pay you GBP300 (British pounds)
PER week and a total amount of 1,200GBP Monthly. You will also be paid
extra for any additional time added to the agreed time.

You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom either live in or
out fully furnished, with a desk phone and computer system with
internet.

We are looking for someone to muck up and help out generally as any
member of the family would. You will need to babysit a couple of times
a week and also be happy about us popping back to work in the evening
if you are at home anyway. We need someone to be flexible - as we will
be if you would like to take time off if your family visits or you
have a holiday. When we go on holiday as a family you will usually be
welcome but we can also arrange for you to stay home if you prefer.

We will also be shouldering all document and travel expenses.


However we would like to ask a few key questions and we need you to
answer very honestly and positively.


1) What are your aims and objectives in life?

2) What kind of person are you( your likes and dislikes)?

3) How do you intend to impact positively in my daughter's life?

4) Do you possess any physical impairment we ought to know about?

Have you ever been married? Do you have a child/children?

Kindly answer these questions and get back to us as soon as possible.

Please can you tell us your full name and give us your phone number so
we can call when we are less busy and get know you better.

We hope to hear from you soon and our warmest regards to you and your
family. Lucy sends her best and wishes you well in all you do.


God bless.

Best Wishes,
Richards Family
