This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Both the host family and the Barrister are fake.
If you are looking for an au pair position in the USA, please read these US Government webpages about the US Au Pair Program:
http://exchanges.state.gov/jexchanges/p ... upair.html
http://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/
Please also note that an employed nanny is different to an au pair, and classed as a Personal or Domestic Employee. You can read the regulations regarding visas for Personal and Domestic Employees under 'Business Visitor Visa (B-1)' here:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/types/types_1262.html
Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.
