Hi Dreamscometrue
unfortunately this is just another scammer. The poor writing style gives that away
and googling parts of the email lead to many other scam warning website.

Also, the 4470 phone number is a UK Re-direct number used by scammers to transfer calls to where ever in the world they are.

The pay rate they offer is so far above what an aupair would normally receive is another sign of a scammer.

Sorry, but this is just another scammer

Welcome to Scamwarners.
100% scam. The English is strange, and the pay is impossibly high for an au-pair. And that isn't a cellphone number but a free redirect number that transfers your call elsewhere.
