Hi Marcelo,
What about this family, they had Daniella from you some years ago - you may remember them, I think in the main she was happy there. Now looking for a new girl, older children too, but driving is important. Close to Bristol, and a car provided. If Mel is interested I will suggest her to them, and they may consider her.
Their first choice is a European girl, but who knows, and they are nice. here is their profile, and they have given a lot of thought to what is required, I think this is good. They are anxious for somebody beginning of September, what do you think. I feel she would be safe here, and not too far form us, if she wanted to visit.

West Country Au pairs
Dear Marcelo,
We are a professional couple, who have a 15 year old child and live in North West London.
I need an au pair who is prepared to help with the housework, and the cooking. The time she will spend with our son is important, and she needs to be genuinely interested in him.
In the past we got au pairs from you and have very good experiences with them.
With best wishes,
Rose Jones

Subject: Aupair position.
Hello again,
I have used your agency in the past and was very pleased with the aupair received.
I´m looking for another aupair who is able to start around the end of May 2005. I need someone who has a good understanding of the English language as I have four small children.
I have enclosed a letter that I normally use to tell aupair about myself and my family and what I´m looking for in a aupair.
If you have anybody that would suit my requirements then please send details.

Hi,
I have great references on your company from local friends.
I have a family coming to visit Highland Beach from 13-23 February, who want a nanny/au pair for that time. They have two toddler girls, ages 1+ and 3.
Is that available? Please respond as soon as you can, as you see time is short. Phone or email.

Dear Marcelo,
We have used your service in the past and have been very happy. Perhaps you can help us again.
We need mature woman to be our housekeeper. Our sons are teenagers, and she must be able to drive them places. We live in New Jersey, near New York City. We spend our summers at the beach, so she should like the beach. We have a dog.
I am looking right now, so she should have a visa and be ready to travel.

Dear Marcelo,
I have been looking through your site at your women looking to work in America. My wife and I have used two of your women so far and have been very pleased. The woman that we have here with us over 1 year needs to return home to help her sick mother. That is Maria de Fatima Gouvea.
We would like to get in contact with the following women to see if they are still availible:
I would call them first but the launguage barrier is difficult, so I would like to see which of them is interested in travleing to Alaska. Thank you so very much.

(First stage of parkensons). If you know of any young males who do not mind a bit of hard work and want to learn English, we need a handyman.

Hello My Dear Marcelo!!!
How are you? I hope everything is fine, I guess you already heard the news, my engagement was last week and soon I want to move to go to live with my fiancee and go to school.
Until now we had a lot of candidates, but we truely need somebody that can at least keep up with a basic conversation, because our boy is 2 1/2 and is speeking very well.
I need somebody to replace me, so I can go ahead and get to my new life, we need somebody that wants to work day and a part of night. As you know we live in Boston and our city is great, the head of America, lots of things to do and see, and lots of schools too, this person can have to week days free and do as she wish.
So, please, if you have more candidates that speak inglesh, send to us, and we will be very glad to talk to all them.
Thanks a Lot!!!
