| This "au pair" (I use the term loosely for someone who clearly isn't!) is mentioned a couple of times in the next few pages but I have some different photos from 'her' (in fact, photos of 'her' which are at least 3 maybe 4 different girls!).
She is too quick to email you first with what seems like a perfect profile. She is too quick to accept your position without answering any questions. Her English fluctuates from good, to reasonable to very poor. She forgets your name / uses different names for you. Suggests she lives in London (so you cannot verify her Canadian identity with a Candian address) but then quickly backtracks when you ask her to attend an interview and states she is currently living in the Cameroon, remember?! She will email any references you provide and will provide email references, which come back with poor / confused English from supposed native speakers. She deletes her profile almost immediately. She has no proper knowledge of Visas required to work in the UK.

Dear Family,
I have seen your profile on the site and Im interested in working for you as aupair. My name is Lara Potter. I am a 21 years old Canadian girl born on the 8th of April 1986 in Toronto Canada. I am the eldest in a family of three I have a junior brother (Mike) and a kid sister (Bianca) and a father though my mother is of late. We are a small noble and happy family. I used to take care of my junior ones and that is why I developed interest in child care. After my high school I studied child care training and I graduated with a diploma in this field after nine months of studies. I understand and speak both English and French fluently
I love working, looking after children and playing with them. I also find child caring as a very rewarding experience though challenging at times. I am responsible mature hard working and willing to work with children of all ages.
I have been working as an aupair now for two years. During this period I have worked with Mrs. Tessa in Canada for six months taking care of two kids Anya 1.5 year old and Tony 6 months old. As reference, her email is tessagreen84@gmail.comI have also worked with the Lux family in London for one year taking care of his two lovely angels 2,5 years old Tina and 1 year old Mabel. Their ref is gillianlux@outgun.com. My last contract which just ended a week ago took me to Africa Cameroon where I worked with The Kim’s a family from New Zealand taking care of two energetic kids Nick and Joe. For reference their email is debrakims@yahoo.com. My Dad stays in Fulham London and as ref he could also be contacted on 00447024044211 My principal job description with all my previous families consist of making breakfast for the kids, getting them ready for school, driving them to and from school, prepare meals and snacks for them, do laundry and tidy up their rooms, keep my living quarters clean and tidy, help the kids out in their assignments and create fun activities for them in times of relaxation. I also have various fun games that I teach them. If I fit your ideal aupair, then I will be willing to work in like manner and up to 45 hours per week as your family so desires.
As hobbies I like swimming for which I have champion history, I like reading and outdoor games. I am a soft spoken and kind girl. I do not smack children but teach them from the first day the importance of doing what is right. I also belief in the power of positive thinking and I know that every body deserves a second chance. Do wish that you find me not just like an aupair but a senior sister to the kids because I intend to raise them just like my own children Cheers Lara |
