This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer also pretends to be called Susan Richards from the USA. You can see this scam here, and will notice the similar second email, and the identical stolen photographs of a bedroom and bathroom.:
Susan Richards
The Immigration Bureau is fake, and the scammer is not telling the truth about visa requirements for the UK.
If you are looking for an au pair position in the UK, please contact the British Embassy in your own country for the UK entry requirements. You can find the genuine British Embassy website for your country here:

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 host family. If you wish to consult the UK Border Agency, do not use an email address or website address given to you by your host family, but go to the genuine website here:
