Hi Edina

Thank you for interest in our family.
I would like to know that firstly , if we agree you are going to join us , when is
the earliest date you can come over?

We are a small family: my name is Sev(mother) , my husband, and two sons(
5 y and 2,5 y old)
We live in Bexley , 20-30 min away from central London by train.
Shops are close by if you like shopping.
We need an aupair to help us for at least until 24 th July 2013.

You will have your own room, you will eat with us( if you wish and it would be
nice) .
Daily routine: Monday to Friday
-Drop older one to school 830-845 am, pick him up 3:15 pm
-drop little one to playgroup some mornings around 9:10am and pick him up
12 am.
-Take them once a week to swimming lesson.
- give little one luch, then after lunch he goes to sleep
- when the weather is nice , you can them him/ them to park very close by.
- reading book if they wish
- teach/ train them how to tidy up
- around the house: - hoovering, dusting, mopping, cleaning bathrooms, keep
tidy children's room and sitting room, ironing
- two babysitting in a week( it can be weekday and weekend day or evening )
( we don't need babysitting that often , just in case we request this to avoid
disappointment ) .
- my husband is a school teacher and he does look after children so you do
not need to take care of them all day . If you stay with us during the school
holidays , we will pay half of your normal weekly pocket money for one
cleaning and one babysitting. If you like to go somewhere , we do
arrangements for that in advance.so don't worry.

Questions :
Can we get any reference/s from your previous host family or any family you
had to take care of their children?( if you like you can talk to our previous
aupair too)

in which country did you get experience?

Do you need any visa problem at all? Do you need to get any aupir visa or
work permit visa at all?

What was your daily routine with children and around the house?

What was your hours like and your pocket money?

Regards

Sev

The tactic of a scammer is to try and get you to pay them visa fees.

Obviously there is no point paying anyone visa fees to anyone but the UK Embassy visa.

It's very simple if you want to be an au pair in the UK. If you need a visa because you aren't an EU citizen, you won't get one as an au pair. For that reason I believe that this is a scam. The scammer has mixed up EU and non-EU countries and mentions needing a visa.

There is no point a genuine person referring to non-EU countries at all, and if you're from an EU country you won't need a visa.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
