Hello ,
Thanks for the swift response,am very happy to hear from you,and also want you to know that this job is yours and thanks for the interest in my family,I will like to see your Curriculum Vitae (CV).Truly,I need a foreign Nanny..I knew that there are a lot of Nannies in US here but is just that i need an Nanny from outside that is caring,loving,motherly care and well determined that can take good care of my kid for me but with the recommendation from you and that is the more reason I may need you services,hopefully you will be my kid's Nanny and do according to your words.
I don't play with my kid at all because she is the apple of my eyes,i worked because of her and i can pay so much on her. My advice i will help you with 50% out of the travel fees to reach here in United State and i shall be responsible for refund of the 50% that is made by you immediately you get here because why i said so is that i have paid for 2 Nannies in the past months which did not show up at my home but went to somewhere else and this reason i vowed that any Nannies/Au pair that i will employ,will make all expenses by himself/herself ,just for me to be sure that you will not do like the past Nannies and you are ready to work with my family here in U.S because i don't want someone who don't care about kids because i cherish my kid a lot.
Don't worry about the United State,it's a nice place to stay and which i hope you will enjoy staying here with my family and you will have the access to internet In fact i have a personal Laptop at home for myself but my kid usually play games on her own Laptop, i will get you a Laptop for your own use.All expenses made by you will be REFUNDED immediately you get here.The travel agency will get visa for you.
What you have to do now is to contact the travel agent below so that they can make the arrangement for your coming over via the information you will be needing to provide them below:
TRAVEL AGENCY NAME :Express Travel International
Email: [email protected]
Contact the Travel Agent and make inquiries about the tickets and other documents needed for your coming over from your country to the United State and get back to me via email and before applying for the visa, the documents that will be prepared by the Agent are needed at the U.S Home Office here.The documents have to be done by the Agent first and for this you have to make things faster so that your coming can be faster.
The duties I'm looking for are as follows:
1-Supervise breakfast with the children in the morning and get them off to school (Collect my kid from school at 3.40pm.)
2-Some Housework/washing/ironing as required on a daily basis
3-Supervise homework, music practice and fun activities or take children to after school activities.
4-Prepare and cook an evening meal for everyone at about 6.30-6.45
5-Weekends and Bank holidays would be free that there will not be much duties to carry out.
6-Occasional weekend work would be offered by prior negotiation. I normally leave for work at 7..00am and get back at around 6.30pm
although some flexibility is useful.
I am offering a live in position with full board (we eat well in this house!)
1-Separate Toilet and Bathroom.
2-TV,different type of video machines..
3-Personal computer already Internet on.
e.t.c for you and i will make sure everything goes on well with you
