This one also seems like a scam, but I'm having trouble finding proof.
The IP is - oddly - leading to Sellersburg, Indiana. The phone number points 1000 miles away to Florida, and the email states that he will pick you up in New mexico.

The English is terrible and the phrasing is typical of scam emails. Also, he signs Mr Robin. In standard English, you would use your surname here (Anderson), in other cultures, including west African, the first name is used.

I would be curious about any Aupair job that only wants you to work 25 hours a week. I haven't looked into it, but this seems like very few hours. I always thought of Aupairing as a full time job.

The wrong email in the to line shows that you are again on a BCC list. the scammer will have put one email address in the to line and the rest in the BCC. He was probably worried it might not send otherwise. It may even be another of his email addresses.

Please treat all job offers with caution. Thank you for posting these.

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know Au Pair jobs can be part time or full time. But not fully part time, since the main purpose of this program is for the au pair to learn about the host family's country, culture and language, so you get to join language classes.

BTW: here's his reply..

Hi Amber,

Just to help you spot scam emails, I will point out a few thing that identify it to us as a scam, besides anything that may or may not come up in a search

my kid is inteligent and nice kid.i want you to Firstly there is a missing word as well as a lack of space after the punctuation, that's presuming that refering to you son as "my kid"

for about 1yrs and 2month.My incorect use of plurals and there's that lack of a space again

kid love singing and missing an "s" again

dancing all you bad grammar, there should be something in there
contact the ticket agent via this information this is a well known part of the scam where yo uare directed to somebody else to add legitimacy
[email protected] Travel agent with a yahoo address
he has been my agent for well over a decade Trying to promote honesty and trust
now and he take care missing "s" again
ticketing arrangement to and again
the world,so
he is an experienced man.Contact adding legitimacy again plus the lack of space
visa,tickets
and working permit
to Usa
and gets back
to me via email don't worry about any expenses that this might cost you reassuring
i shall refund all expenses incured by you after you get here "pay advanced fees", it is known as advanced fee fraud
airport,i
i don't want someone who don't care about kid.
that Usa is a nice
access to study in school of what ever you fill like going to study
and for that it will only be for weekend only.Infact
i have a personal computer at home but my kid usually

over internet,I will
be making every arrangement for you of course he will, he doesn't want you to plan it himself because that is his whole scam angle

I wont go through the rest of it and you will most likely be able to work out the phrases I have not put a comment next to.

Some scammers do have much better writing skills but when you know what to look for you will see it in most emails
