These ads are commonly referred to as “Nigeria Connection”. It is not for sexual abuse but the applying girls are asked to pay some money (200-500 USD, it varies) for travel arrangements/visa matters upfront. Since the girls believe they will earn much more money once they actually work there, they usually agree. They are to send the money via Western Union. Once they paid, they will never hear from their wonderful family again. Surprise

BE CAREFUL – I have just done a text on the above email from “Maria” and the same advertisement is at this link
http://www.njorku.com/browse/job/87730/looking-for-domestics-housekeeper-reliable-nanny-needed-in-our-home

It is on a Nigerian website which screams scam/trafficing to me.

Potential Au Pairs – DO NOT answer this post – there is very real dangers out there.

Good luck

Girls – do not reply to the above post – it may not be genuine – any real family will not advertise here because it is not the proper place to do so – this may be a bad person who is trying to “trap” naive girls – be aware that sex trafficing is particularly bad in England and Ireland

Be careful, be safe!

I have emailed CV about the post.

Hi, I am an English HM, and desperate for some advice, but can’t work out where to send the details about my circumstances and the question to, so it can be posted, and then fingers crossed commented on. I’ve just be hunting the site for the email address for over an hour and have failed, think I must be going mad.

hehe, no i get the title.. i guess that wasn’t a topic that a lot of people could relate to though, as there were not many comments. my situation are a little different as my 3 hostchildren are not toddlers, but between the ages of 6 and 8, and my host mom is stay-at-home. is not like they actually call me mom, but somehow the mom thinks that the children find me more fun than herself and the dad because she think I do not set enough limits or dicipline them so therefore the childen likes me better. (i DO dicipline, just not necesseraly always when the parents are around). (which then creates problems). So i just wanted to see if there was any advice on what I can do, because at this point, i really dont know, and I dont want the mom to feel that way at all.. I just want to do my job well and not create any problems or “competition” between me and the mom. (sorry if my english is a little bad.) i actually found out through the mom’s sister about how the mom really feels, and she says that even its my fault, the mom still gets frustrated and sometimes takes it out on me..

Hi AP21–

Here’s that post:
Terms of endearment and moms’ deepest fears. Also, childcare myths.

Not the best title (cough, cough) but I added a few tags so that it might be easier to find the next time. Let us know what you think! cv
