    Hi,

    I'm wondering if there's any Filipina Au Pairs who use the forum?

    Cheers,
    James

    Hi Broken Hearted,

    I'm not looking for a Au Pair for a household. I'm a Filipino artist based in London looking to meet Au Pairs based in the UK. Do you know any Au Pairs who are currently working here?

    Thank You,
    James

    i don't think you'll find a filipina who has a Au Pair visa here, as they are not eligible to apply for one

    I didn't know that! I'm in the very initial stages of my research. So any information would be greatly appreciated.

    But you do get Filipino Au Pairs working in the UK, a little enlightenment please?

    Cheers,
    James

    hi James,
    I apologize for my ignorance.
    Sir Joe, thank you very much for the site. You give us a light.

    what happend was;
    2 people in london send email to my sister to hire her as aupair. One is a doctor & one is a manager in petrol station. My sister is happy (of course) bec she is a caregiver and dreamin to enter london. But when they send her an application, she is wondering why they need to know all of her bank details and credit card details. I adviced my sister to hang on,

    Finally, here is the answer

    bloody scammers

    mabuhay ka sir JOe

    Thank You everybody for your responses. And even though there isn't such a thing as a Filipino Au Pair in the UK, there are Filipino Nannies, and thats good enough for me! So if anybody is in contact with a Filipina who works for a family, please can you get in touch.

    Kind Regards,
    James
