new born of 6 months, 14 Months and 2 years; their
names are Jasmine, Jerome and Peter.
Jasmine is 6 months and Jerome is 14 Months 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. Micheal 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
$7500 (Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars Monthly)
and shall be given a weekly pocket money of $1100.
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.
My Wife, Michelle would be home each time I go
offshore. I stay 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.

diet of home cooked food. Eat with the child/children
& supervise meal times, encouraging proper use of
cutlery, & behaviour.

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.

would not regret it.

Internet Scam attempts on Nanny Job sites
September 6, 2006What you should know to protect your money and your identity.
Deborah Smith, President, Parents With Nannies, INA Board of Directors
When I started my company in 1999, the Internet was a much kinder, less exasperating place to do business. Today, thanks to the undying efforts of mostly foreign scam artists, we in the on-line nanny business are constantly combating the nameless, faceless imposters who try to lure naïve individuals out of their money and even their identity.ÂÂ
You may have been the recipient of one or more of these bizarre job offer emails. They usually involve a non-U.S. family who is moving to the states and needs your help. They offer you a job without even speaking to you. The job sounds too good to be true, because it is. And, they want to send you money (usually too much) up front to lock in the deal. What they don’t tell you is that the check they are sending is a fake. They will back out of the deal before that check ever clears and ask you to send some of the money back via wire transfer. By the time you find out the check is no good, they have your money and have disappeared into the hills of some country you’ve probably never heard of.
Not all of the scams are exactly alike, but if you look at enough of them, as I have, you’ll see many similarities. We post scam attempts on our NannyClassifieds.com blog. I usually get at least one notice every day forwarded to me by a nanny. I encourage nannies to read them and get familiar with their common elements
Some of the typical characteristics of a bogus job offer and scam attempt are:
- The job appears too good to be true.
- The family is from overseas and is relocating to the U.S.
- They offer you the job in basically their first email to you.
- They request “help†from you. Ask you to receive funds, furniture, or some other odd request that a typical employer would not make.
- They request personal information from you, copy of your drivers license, passport, social security number. All of these should be kept completely confidential until you have met your future employer and will be using this information to run a background check.
If you receive one of these scam emails:
- Don’t reply.ÂÂ
- File a report with the Federal Government at: http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/
- Send a copy of the email immediately to whatever nanny database service you are using. If you use many and don’t know where it came from, send it to all.ÂÂ
Please keep us informed at NannyClassifieds.com, so we can help spread the word to other nannies.
I would also encourage nannies who use on-line nanny job services to ask the owners of these services what measures they are taking to discourage the scam artists and to protect the privacy of the nannies and families who use their service. At NannyClassifieds.com we have spent months implementing new technical roadblocks that will hopefully stop the scammers from ever entering our site. We can’t guarantee that a scammer won’t slip through, but if they do, we have created a way for nannies to keep all of their contact information private, even email addresses, by using our new on-line message board system. You can now keep track of where the message is coming from, and we can quickly and easily identify the scammer through his messages on our system.  ÂÂ
To educate yourself on the different types of scams and how to protect yourself against them, visit the Internet Crime Complaint Center located at this address: http://www.ic3.gov/preventiontips.aspx.
Deborah Smith is the owner of Parents With Nannies, Inc. Their websites, NannyClassifieds.com and 4EverythingNanny.com offer online recruiting and advertising services to families, nannies and agency owners. Deborah is an INA Board Member and serves as co-chair of the Public Relations Committee and the Internet Committee.

After due consideration with my wife we have decided to take you in.
Moreover,there is a little problem I am having now and I
need you to help me solve it my ex-nanny Lady sharon a
good and loving person who is a BRITISH, and now she
has gone back to her country united kingdom when her
father died. She mailed me and told me that she has a
serious problem and we are the only people that can
help her in her present situation now, she told me
that her only 9yrs old son joshua is sick and he needs
an operation for kidney failure.
Now the problem is that I am not in America now and I
don’t have cash on hand now so I am suggesting if I
send to you money order for you to cash it take $200
of the money for every expense it cost you and I will
inform you on how to send the rest of the money to
Lady Sharon family in United Kingdom, so that she will
be able to solve her problems.
I await your expedient response.

Hello ,
How are you doing? I hope you are fine.
I am Collins Smith by name and my wife is Maria, we are based here in the United Kingdom. We have 2 kids (a boy and a girl) their ages are 4years and 1.5years old respectively.
I am due to be in the United State in a few days from now and for the next 2years as a result of my assignment with the Company.
As such, my family is expected to come along with me. In the light of this, Maria and I have deemed it important to have our kids well looked of as soon as we get into the State, hence the search for a nanny or babysitter to take care of our little angels.
We would expect your service to commence by the 30th of July 2006, as such your expected arrival date would be July 29th in order for you to be around and available to assist in the setting up of the house on that day, being that our belongings and furnitures which are in charge of the shipper are bound to arrive soon. We would be offering 400$ for your services and the duration will be 9am-5pm (Mon to Fri) .
However, i will like to inform you that your sincere support towards the receipt of our belongings and furnitures that are to arrive soon in the state will be highly appreciated as you have a role to play on these.
Myself and my wife has concluded to pay an all front 2 weeks payment to you over this job, so that you may be contended with us.
For your transportation, we would work out something worthwhile and make provision for transport allowance, which will be paid together with your wages, regardless of your distance.
You are to evaluate your total cost of transportation from your destination to our new resident and provide me with the cost,that it could be brought together with your chosen remuneration from what we are offering.
Please note that our preference is in an individual (nanny/babysitter) with extremely good conduct, well mannered, considerably accommodating and hygienic. If the above offer is satisfactory with you, I will appreciate that you respond to the below questions.
1) How old are you?
2) What is your marital status?
3) What is your religious backggound?
4) What qualifications do you posses?
5) Have you certificates portraying your babysitting career?
6) Do you have a valid means of identification?
7) Do you have any criminal records?
8) Do you have extra-ordinary habits
9) How temperamental are you?
