This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The scammer, possibly via another fake person, company, or government department (lawyer, travel agency, embassy, UK Border Agency), will request money for a visa, work permit, flight tickets, or other 'necessary travel/employment documents'. This money will then be stolen from you. The scammer will not obtain any documents for anyone; and does not really have an au pair position to offer.
If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country to check UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website for your country here:
http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-liv ... n-embassy/
Note that a genuine British Embassy email address will always end with @fco.gov.uk (and with no words or abbreviations after that).
Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential employer. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your potential employer, but go to the genuine website here:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/
If you require any guidance with travel arrangements, please contact a travel agency in your own town, which you can visit in person.
