I mean who wouldn't want to share a couch with someone else's kids, iron, cook, clean, and babysit for 12 hrs a day for $120 a week??? This must be a joke, surely???

[StuffezLaYoni]

I'm pretty sure this thread won't last, but they sound like massive, massive tossers.

[ThisReallyIsNotSPNopeNotAtAll]

You will of course be entitled to eat all that we eat That's nice of them

No stranger interaction either. So can they not make eye contact with other humans?

[CruCru]

Do you think anyone with two year's experience will actually respond to that? Good nannies are really hard to find.

[GoingUpInTheWorld]

I think they are taking the piss.

[StuffezLaYoni]

Jesus, just seen the hours - 8 til 8 every week day?? I'm very tempted to email these people!

[CruCru]

I think they need to google the job title for au pairs. Their expectations are massively out of line.

[HoneyStepMummy]

And you must adhere to strict daily guidelines. All of this while they're...erm...in between places.

RoFl. It's a super nanny job with super crap benefits. Had four au-pairs - still in touch with three. 2007 70 pw, en-suite, lovely room, 7 and 11 - 4 hrs work per day, frankly Putney's nicer than st john's wood (imo).

[Shutupanddrive]

£120/week?? WTAF??

[BabyMakesMyEyesGoSleepy]

I would rather eat a maggotty penis than work for them.

[SammySockMonster]

i'm an au pair.

60 hour weeks?! sharing a bedroom with the kids?! two toddlers and a baby?! all of the cooking?! "BOISTEROUS"??!!!

i think this sounds more like a jail sentence than a job. these parents are out of their minds

[Rassy]

I bet when they get no replies they will be genuinely puzzled as to why not! I so had to stop myself sending them a rude email...!

[Shutupanddrive]

I was tempted to reply too

[FannyFifer]

What the actual fuck.
Working 60 hours a week, sleeping on a couch, for 120 quid.

Like the no interacting with strangers bit, pure madness!

[tethersend]

No interaction with strangers, apart from fixing them with pleading eyes and silently passing them notes asking for help.

[FeckOffCup]

Hahaha if they are actually serious then good luck finding a mug candidate for that job.

No stranger interaction, ever? Why not do a Michael Jackson and send the poor kids out with blankets over their heads. They sound batshit crazy.

[FancyPuffin]

Holy shit

I really want email them and remind them that they are arseholes...

[FancyPuffin]

It's so bad in fact that I'm wondering if its real or some sort of weird spoof

[Ragusa]

Oh I am v tempted to reply too. How utterly unbelievable

[Callico]

Hahahahahahaha to BabyMakesMyEyesGoSleepy's comment!!

[goodasgold]

So that's an easy £2 per hour plus a sofa to sleep on.

Sammy I think prison probably has more to offer.

[spotscotch]

boisterous and playful toddler boys who require attention and patience in equal measure



What wankers.

[TeamSouthfields]

I replied!!!!

Please all reply, it may make these horrible people realise they are not employing a person, a real person!!! not a slave for £2 an hour!!!!

[hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman]

Fucking hell.

[thefuturesnotourstosee]

60 hours a week!

Crowded and sleeping on sofa or sharing with children!

Entitled to eat what they eat!
