Subject: NANNY IS NEEDED..................................

We are a very fun loving and happy family,we also like keeping fit,We are very patient when it comes to taking care of our kids cause kids need time to grow and would need some like a big sister to become a member of the family and take care of our kids.I am Mrs Sharon Dawn and my husband is Mr Larry Dawn I work as an Auditor(Full time) in an accounting firm,I am calm,loving,caring,down to earth,humble,God fearing and understandings as well.My husband owns an industrious company(Plastic) in London(UK).My husband is God-fearing as well,very loving,caring,understanding and a very generous man.
A simple and loving man I've ever met in my life.He has been there for me all the time to show a well responsible man any potential woman would want as an husband.We just came back from the states 2 months ago on a tour but we are back to face life in reality and make the future the brightest for our family,Influence the society in a positive way and choosing Godly way or manner.We both give room or space for people's life and privacy especially when it comes to employment proposition and life in general.
We have short time-spent with our kids due to my work,seminars,training,being a community leader,etc.My husband too is always fixed with an appointments and meetings of the board of directors,sometimes meeting may be called on shorter notices,Reporting on important financial and self business matters,Extraordinary motions of life as time waits for no man because the future has to be secured for the younger ones,spend quality time with God although our kids and the safety of our house and the environment is much more our concern for the betterment of the future and make the youth the leader of tomorrow in any chosen field.We need someone to help out at breakfast times getting the kids ready etc.They get the school bus from across the road.You would typically be free from 7.35am each morning until school pick up in the afternoon around 3.15-3.45 and look after until the parents arrive home (6.30/7),you would be required to pick up at 12.15pm on Fridays.We need someone who knows how to play with children,respond to them and engage at their level.Duties would involve supervising and helping with homework,playing,taking to activities,preparing supper for the kids and bath time help.You need to be proactive,able to be firm,flexible and independent,able to make friends with other Nannies/Au pairs in the area or otherwise keep yourself busy during the day.You need to be able to cook or follow a recipe.If you live in you will also be expected to eat with the Kids and encourage healthy eating habits,Daily light housework is all that is required as we have a full-time cleaner already who comes frequently but I need you to help tidy up in between times and keep the Childrens rooms neat.You must be either fluent in English or have it as a first language.Someone who is active,likes to encourage painting/arts and craft activities and isn’t afraid of children jumping on them or hugging them would do well.The payment is £180/week,plus food and accommodation. This is based on five full days,the other two days,you would be free!You would be entitled to 4 weeks paid holiday per year pro rate,to be taken during school holidays only.There is huge potential to earn extra money,by doing extra babysitting or cleaning for other local friends and families.You will have your own private large bedroom,with TV/DVD and internet access. The bathroom has a (bath and shower).

Hello,

We want to use this medium to congratulate you because we have accepted you as our Au pair and a member of the family,after talking to my husband he think you are qualified and have the experience to take care of the kids.We also want you to know that we are willing to pay for your air ticket and process all the documents that would be need for your stay in the United Kingdom as you can see in the Eligibility form that we have a very good representative whom can take care of all that without any problem.We will also want you to know that there has been many instances where prospective Au-pairs after getting approvals, documents, signing Au pair contracts with the aim of coming to work for their employers in the United Kingdom went to work somewhere else or did not come to the United Kingdom at all or came for some very illegal reasons here by creating problems for the host family and wasting their time,keeping them waiting for so long without an Au pair to look after their kids.We have been a victim where we provided air fares and processed documents and even sent money but at the long run we got nothing as the Au-pair did not turn up for reason that we can not explain and so because we want to be sure and have an assurance that you are honest and determined to work for our family as an Au pair.All we want you to do is to ask any of your family members or friends you can trust to send a deposit of 1000 British pounds to your name via western union using my address in United Kingdom and then scan and send us a copy of the receipt given to you as this will be used for confirmation and will enable us know if the transfer was really made or not and when we have confirmed,we will be rest assured that you have some money to pick up and that you will come to the United Kingdom.This will assure us that we will not be spending money on a fruitless exercise and that we will not be waiting for someone who would not come like the other Au-pair did,we are also willing to pay back the transfer fee used in process of the transaction.When we have processed your documents and paid your flight fare for you to come over to United kingdom and get your money back like we said we need this as it will be used as an assurance that you would be coming to work for us after singing the Au pair contract and procuring your Visa and Work permit.We would also like to assure you that your job is secure and we would be waiting at the airport to pick you up and welcome you as a member of the family.We would send you the Au-pair contract if you are ready to abide by these terms.Have a blessed day.

All money sent by Western Union, as instructed by this scammer, will be stolen. The scammer is able to collect this money, using the details on the receipt, regardless of which name the transfer is made to. Never transfer money by Western Union or MoneyGram or any similar service on the instruction of a potential host family, nor on the instruction of anyone who the host family has put you in contact with.
