Jasmine is 6 months and Jerome is 3 years Old; Peter our Cousin who is 2 years will be keeping you entertained at home during the day! we do not require much babysitting in the evening which means that you are free to enjoy these as you wish. On your days off you can enjoy the Nigerian Sun on one of the many beautiful beaches just a short drive away. We also have a summer house by the lake which we would like you to spend some time with us in. patsy is a Production Engineer with Shell BP, Nigeria and works pretty hard, but enjoys going for walks in the glorious Obudu hills. I am a teacher at the local high school here in Nigeria too where I teach biology to a range of children. I had to accompany my Husband when he was posted from the US to Nigeria. In my spare time I enjoy painting. We would like an au pair who will fit in with our lifestyle and enjoy their time with us. You have a tastefully furnshed live-in accomodation. If you agree to take the position you shall be paid $6500 (Six Thousand Five Hundred Dollars Monthly) and shall be given a weekly pocket money of $1100.I know the amount sounds very high but i and my husband had to agree with a good price to enable optimum performance from the wouldbe nanny,we love our kids and would like the best for them.To this effect your residence shall be comfortably furnished within the Company housing estate. We are comfortable here as Shell pays us well however we cannot work effectively and take care of our kids hence our solicitation to you to come and Nanny for us. Am usually home each time my husband goes offshore. He stays for about a month or two and return home to spend time with my family. You shall undertake the following duties if you accept to work with us: 1. Care for & stimulate the child both mentally & physically, to ensure their intellectual, physical & social development. 2. Find out about activities in the local area. Ensure that the child/children get regular fresh air & exercise. 3. Plan & undertake activities on a one to one basis & with children. Develop speech, reading, numbers, letters, colours, social & practical skills. 4. Organise & prepare a healthy, varied & well balanced diet of home cooked food. Eat with the child/children & supervise meal times, encouraging proper use of cutlery, & behaviour. 5. Look after child's/children's physical well being - wash & bath them daily, help them to dress & undress, cut nails weekly, ensure hair is cut regularly, & that shoes get refitted regularly. 6. Look after all the child's/children's clothes. This includes all washing ; ironing by the weekend, shoes regularly cleaned, clothes & soft toys mended; Put aside clothes that no longer fit. 7. Keep child's/children's room clean & tidy. We had a Nanny but she is getting married hence would be moving with her Husband. Should you accept to take up the position with us, you can start as soon as your Flight Ticket, Travel Documents and other Travel Intineries are ready. We could recommend a Travel Agency for you, however all this depends on if you accept to Nanny for us. It is I who is mostly out of the country. My wife is usually home each day. Yes we do have a maid who would assist you in seeing to the dietry needs of our kids. Send us your referees so that we can get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would then invite you to come and Nanny for us. I do hope you consider a position with us and you would not regret it. Have a swell weekend as you work towards building your career with us. Comment   >> Posted: Aug 05 '06 by Tammi in Ontario, Canada I too have had these people contact me, but through another agency. The husband of this family is in Nigeria and his wife is too busy according to him to take care of the children properly. Their story is a little different in my case. They have three chldren and the man's name is Kelvin Lewwis. He started off his email by asking me about salary. I emailed him back saying that at this point in our correspondance, salary wasn't important to me. I wanted to learn about thins like duties, hours, his children and their family life. Luckily I have already seen photos and read complaints about this family or I probably would have continued talking to him. I emailed him back saying I was not interested and asked him not to contact me again. I then looked his name up in a search engine, it provided a list of aliases, a list of crimes (all money, cheques etc.). I recommend that if you are contacted by this family delete their emails, don't give money, bank account numbers or any information identifing yourself such as your last name or address. Who knows what these people are capable of.
