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:

Hello and how are you doing today... i am really sorry for not replying back to you message ever since morning... i have been very busy at work.... i just got home from work now and i am really tired.... so that was why i was unable to reply you back ever since morning.....
so how was your day today, hope you had a nice time today.....
I am happy that you have given me a reply back and you are interested in the job... i found your profile from the newaupair
I have a guest room in my home where you will be staying,you will also be
eating the same food that me and my entire family eats and you not need to pay anything.... your offdays will on be in the weekend on saturdays and sundays because me and wife works only on weeekdays and we are off at the weekends.
The main reason why we want an aupair for the kids now is because my wife was given only 1 year MATERNITY HOLIDAY and she has to resume back to work at the end of september, so i think that it will better for you to come and work for me and my family from the first week in october... or what do you think ? and i will like you to come and work for us for 1 year or more.....
i have some questions to ask you and i hope that you will not have any problem answering me back....
so i will like to ask you some question.....
have you ever worked as an aupair before ?
do you have experience with kids ?
do you smoke ?
do you drink alcohol ?
what do your parents think about you coming to work for me and my family here in my home ?
have you ever been to usa before ?
If you do not mind,you can also send me some pictures of you,so that i can show it to my wife and kids and they can know more about you... and the most important things,i will like you to send me your telephone number, so that i can call you on the phone and i talk to you more about the job because if you can remember that i told you that this is my first time of hiring an aupair for the kids, and my lawyer is the one that is helping me out with everything... i will like is to talk on the phone for a while..
I am sending you some pictures of me and my entire family in this message and i really hope that you like them...
i would have written more message to you,but right now i am really tired and i have to go and have my shower now and also i wanna eat now and try to rest a little bit because i really over worked myself today at the office....
hope to read from you tomorrow....

This scammer has many stolen photos to send, pretending that these are of his own family. These are just a few of them:















The agency is fake, and is part of the scam.

Thanks for the quick reply and giving me answers to all my questions....
I received the pictures that you have sent to me and i showed them to my kids and my wife and she told me that she cannot wait to have you here in my home so that she can show you around new york before she resumes back to work.....
If you can remember that i told you that this is my first time of hiring an aupair for the kids. so i really dont knoow how this works.... so i had to talk to my family lawyer to help me out with the documents processing for you, so he was the one that introduced me a travelling agency, and the name of the agency is the sta travels agency and they are very good and nice agency.... he told me that they will be able to process all the documents that you will need for you, including your health insurance and your flight tickets and all other things that you will need.....
The reason why i will want to do everything my way is because since this is my first time, i will not want to go about it the wrong way, so that when you arrive here in my home you will not be having any problems with the immigrations or american governments.... thats why i will like you to contact the agency and tell them that i was the one that asked you to contact them... you should send them a message and tell them that i was the one thas asked you to contact them that you will want to know what the necessary requirements are and how long it is going to take and how much the documents processing is going to cost.... As for the payments for the processing of your documents, you do not have to worry about that because i will be the one to pay for everything including your flight tickets and the rest... all i need is just for you to send them a message and tell them all that i have told you and once you receive a reply from them i will like you to send me a message and tell me whatever they tell you so that i can show it to my lawyer and then we can know what the next step is.....
here is their email address ( [email protected] )..........
hope to read from you soon and have a nice day ahead.....
