Au Pair Scammer: Dr Daniel Joseph - [email protected]

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity, it is a scam. The scammer, possibly via another fake person, company, or government department (lawyer, travel agency, embassy, UK Border Agency), will request money for a visa, work permit, flight tickets, or other 'necessary travel/employment documents'. This money will then be stolen from you. The scammer will not obtain any documents for anyone; and does not really have an au pair position to offer.

Hello,

I am going through Au-pair/nanny search when i came across your profile, We are a cheerful, friendly family in London UK. i have one happy and affectionate kid, I will like you to know that I have just 1 kid which her name is Rita, and her age is 4 years old. Due to the nature of my work and the unexpected Dead of her Mother I want you as an Au pair nanny for her because I hardly have time for my lovely baby which actually prompted the idea of securing an Au Pair/Nanny to help me look after her,. So after scrolling through your profile at easy aupir, both myself and my baby consider you worthy of the job vacancy in our Home. Rita likes playing with trains,drawing,playing on the computer and garden swing, and riding his bike.and also wants to be a scientist when he grows up, and enjoys playing with Lego, art, reading comics, riding around on his scooter and playing with his new Nintendo Wii. We live in a very large modern family.

I am looking for someone to get her ready in the morning,prepare and clear up the family's breakfast at about 7.30am, make the beds, and take her to school, which is about a 1.5km walk away. The Au pair would then need to pick her up at 3.00 and look after them until i get back home. i 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's a bit of light cleaning and laundry which would take about 90minutes a day in total. There would be plenty of time free in the day to go to language school if you wish to attend, and there are a lot of good ones in the area.

We are really flexible.

If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website by Google searching 'British Embassy' and the name of your country. Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that).

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential employer. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:

If you require any guidance with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.
