Scams offering fake Au Pair positions

This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer may also use other email addresses.

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.
