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:

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

my family. Truly, I need a foreign
Nanny. I knew that there are a lot of
Nannies in UK here but is just that i
need an Nanny from outside that is
caring, loving, motherly care and well
determined that can take good care
of my kids for me but with the
recommendation from you and that is
the more reason I may need your
services, hopefully you will be my
kid's Nanny and do according to your
words. I don't play with my kids at all
because they are the apples of my
eyes, i worked because of them and i
can pay so much on them. Don't
worry about the United Kingdom, it's
a nice place to stay and which i hope
you will enjoy staying here with my
family and you will have the access to
internet In fact i have a personal PC

Contact the Travel Agent and make
inquiries about the tickets and other

United Kingdom and get back to me
via email and before applying for the
visa, the documents that will be
prepared by the Agent are needed
at the UK Home Office here. The
documents have to be done by the
Agent first and for this you have to
make things faster so that your
coming can be faster.
