This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.

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://j1visa.state.gov/participants/how-to-apply/

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.
