LIVE OUT AUPAIR WANTED

[saniya]

I am looking for a live out Female Aupair on a Fulltime basis, Monday to Friday 8am-5pm. I need someone who can work for me on a permanent basis.
I want someone who is able to do housework as well as look after my one year old baby. I require someone who is tidy, loving and caring.
Position start date is in October 08. Salary will be £150 + Travel expenses a week.

that's slave labour. you can't pay someone three pound an hour to be your fucking nanny

You are joking aren't you?

I mean, you don't seriously thing a tidy, loving, caring young woman is going to come and work 45 hours a week (plus travel expenses) for £3.33 an hour? You must realise that this is half the minimum amount you should be paying someone like this, and a good £2.40 below the minimum wage - the legal minimum wage. YOu must realise that to employ someone on this basis would be illegal, don't you?

That's not an au pair. You are missing the whole point of what an au pair means. If you employ someone you need to pay minimum wage. If they're an au pair not an employee they live in and work max 25 hours.

you pay peanuts .......

Surely your precious 1 yr old dc is worth more than that?

You have to figure out what this type of employee is called first.

An aupair is almost always live in, from abroad. Expected to do a bit of housework and mothers help type duties bit of babysitting for older children. Limited hours as they normally do language classes or other education.

Nanny can be live in or out will normally do child related housework only "nursery duties" paid loads and you will still pay their tax and NI on top of their net wage. They are your employee. Live out earn more.

Cleaner or housekeeper again live in or out. Any kid of reasonable normal cleaning duties, can be asked to be in for older kids coming home from school and supervise then until parent comes home, wages vary greatly. Can be self employed.

Can get a nanny/ cleaner combination but if carring for a baby this is not normal at all. I if caring for older children nannies may undertake houskeeping duties while kids out to maintain a full time job.

You need to do a lot more research before employing a carer for your baby as a 1 yr old needs an experienced person not an full time au pair.

This is not an au pair and would not meet with the requirements set out by the Home / Foreign office Au Pair Scheme.

For a 1 year old, you do need a nanny, not an au pair.

Well they are many agencies that provide live out aupairs for that amount (?. and there is such a thing as a live out Aupair). Compared to what these aupairs earn here and their country? there is a very big difference.

saniya I would like most of us on here I am sure be very pleased to receive details of the agencies that provide these live out au pairs.

They are many agencies on the internet if you want to research in your own time.

Are you living in the UK Saniya? If so I cannot see how you think your request is remotely reasonably or legal.

"Compared to what these aupairs earn here and their country? there is a very big difference."

That's a ridiculous statement. The cost of living is also certainly far higher in UK than "in their own country". And the minimum wage is a legal minimum wage.

Smacks of exploitation, I'm sorry.

Just pasting this from random website:

What is an au pair placement?
An au pair placement is an arrangement where a single person between 17 and 27 comes to the United Kingdom to study English and:

Lives for up to two years as a member of an English-speaking family; and
Helps in the home for up to five hours a day with at least two full days off a week, in return for a reasonable allowance and their own room. (The current recommended amount for the weekly allowance is £55). FYI we are outside London (just) and pay £65.

When is your au pair going to go to her language lessons? Are you going to pay? Still can't quite believe you have posted this. Any reputable au pair web site will have guidelines similar to these, but with more detail.

i may like this job.

I am 19 and have lots child experience.

I make good cleaning and have family in uk.

How we contact ?

The other thing to bear in mind re au pairs is (again, from a random website) "Au Pairs are not allowed to be in sole charge of children under the age of two, and should not be asked to have sole charge of children over the age of two for many hours at a time."

There is a bit of flexibility there with more experienced au pairs, but sole charge of a very young child is really not an au pair job.

Saniya must be a troll, or she is completely unaware that the days of slavery in the developed world are long gone. In fact she wants someone to do two jobs - nanny plus housekeeper - for a silly amount of money.

Sanyia, so why do you post here if you have already found agencies who provide this? This is a parenting website, and you are posting in a discussion forum. Why?

romegirl look on greataupair.com and don't accept a job from saniya unless you want to starve.

Some people are that mad, sadly, so she may not be a troll.

If they are living out they will have to find own accomodation and pay other bills etc in this country. So unless they will commute each night back to there own country with easy jet I don't think you could really live on that amount unless they are 17 yrs and still live at home with parents who will charge no rent, great idea for looking after a 1yr old.

Enough I am sure I hear trip trapping.

Troll.

I suspect her and romegirl of being same poster.
