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???

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

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?

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

I think they are taking the piss.

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

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

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).

£120/week?? WTAF??

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

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

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...!

I was tempted to reply too

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!

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

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.

Holy shit

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

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

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

Hahahahahahaha to BabyMakesMyEyesGoSleepy's comment!!

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

Sammy I think prison probably has more to offer.

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

What wankers.

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!!!!

Fucking hell.

60 hours a week!

Crowded and sleeping on sofa or sharing with children!

Entitled to eat what they eat!
