Greetings from London.

How are you?

Am Jabar and am contacting you about my Nanny and Driver job vacancy. Thanks for the reply to my job offer and the the interest my family, Am still searching for a nanny and driver online who is ready to relocate to London and reside with me and my two beautiful kids and am seeking for the services of an international nanny and driver to come and work for me in the U.K. I am willing to offer Seven Hundred and Fifty pounds sterling(750.00 GBP) per week and will provide monthly shopping allowances as well as accommodation I would like to see your Curriculum Vitae(CV).

We are looking for someone to get the children ready in the morning,prepare and clear up the family's breakfast at about 7.30am, make the beds, and take the children to school, which is about a 1.5km walk away. The au pair would then need to pick them up at 3.00 and look after them until we get home. We might ask the au pair to babysit 1-2 evenings a week. We have a really great cleaner, so there wouldn't be any heavy housework. There is a bit of light cleaning and laundry which would take about 90 minutes a day in total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language school, and there are a lot of good ones in the area.

Living arrangements:

The Au pair would have her own room, which is huge, and has a double bed, with sitting area and
TV/DVD/Video/Hifi. There is wireless broadband internet in the house. . You can even use one of our cars-all weekend! Also 2 weeks are paid holiday during Christmas/New Year plus another 2 weeks during the year. We are looking for someone with a good sense of humor.If you love children and could help us provide a loving environment combining routine and fun for the children then we would like to welcome you to our family as a friend and a big sister to our kids.Housework is not an important part of the Au pair job, being part of our family and helping our children develop and learn is the main thing. We are really flexible.

Working hours:
07.30 to 09.00 and 1500 to 1900 Plus about 60-90 minutes of housework a day to fit in with the Au pair's schedule. Some Friday afternoons off. Total 25-30 hours a week

Benefits :
We will be paying you 750 pounds per weeks. And you will also be having your own car.

it's a nice place to stay and i hope you will enjoy staying here with us and you will also have access to internet, In fact i have a personal PC at home for myself but my kids usually play games on their own PC, i will get you a computer to start using for your own use.All expenses shall be covered by me once we had come to agreement.

I hope to see your response containing a scan copy of your international passport and CV.

Am online right now

Jabar.

Welcome to Scamwarners. As you suspect it is a scam. The wording tells me that and the pay offered is far too high.
You haven't said where you are there, but are very few countries outside the EU whose citizens can work as an au-pair in the UK.

Welcome here Kendisan.

As a Phillipino citizen it is not possible to work as an au pair in the UK. If your sister wants to work in a foreign country, then the best thing to do is to get in contact with the embassy of that country to ask what is possible, and what is required.

Being a victim doesn't mean you stand alone. We're here to help you.
