It is a scam. Stop all contact with the fake Au Pair family and the fake agency.

Please post the fake host family emails/text and email address/text number.

Please read here about Au Pair Scams >> viewtopic.php?f=42&t=3019

United Kingdom

Individuals wanting to be au pairs in the UK who are nationals of countries outside of the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland have to apply for the Tier 5 (Youth mobility scheme). The Tier 5 scheme is very limited and only nationals of certain countries are eligible, as detailed here https://www.gov.uk/tier-5-youth-mobility . If you are not a national of one of the countries listed then you are not eligible to be an au pair in the UK - there are no exceptions to this rule.

Individuals who are nationals of an EEA country (except Croatians at the time of writing - check the Home Office website for the current limitations) or Switzerland are entitled to freedom of movement throughout the EEA area and do not require visas to work in the UK and do not require proof of funds

Please contacta moferatorstor if you have a question or information about this post.



Please do not tell the scammer he is posted here.

Hello jaxtone10,
It is true that you are not eligible to be an Au Pair in the UK. Anyone that tells you that you can be an AU Pair in the UK is a scam.

It is ALWAYS a scam
If the pet seller or shipper asks for money to be sent via Western Union, Money Gram, any brand of gift card. Walmart To Walmart , Zelle , PayPal friends and family option, or mentions Cameroon

Not just as an au pair. Unless you have some highly specialised skills that mean you are uniquely suited to do a particular job and there are no UK or EU citizens with comparable skills then you would not be eligible for a working visa to the UK at all.

Please do not tell scammers that they are listed here - it will take them seconds to change their fake details and their new details will not be listed for any future victims to find.
