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 genuine US Au Pair Program:

Hello Dear Aupair,

How are you doing today? We are Dowley Family located in Alabama in the United States of America, my name is Tiffany Dowley and my husband is Patrick Dowley together we are Dowley family, We have been searching for an aupair in some couple of weeks now but all our effort proves abortive. I was just going through some profiles on the aupair website where I came across yours and I thought to reply to your ads. We are looking for an aupair for the minimum of six month and you'll have your decision on how long you want to stay with us. Our first son is Sam and we have a daughter which her name is Debbie they are 7-3 years of age. We need a friendly, funny and God fearing person for this position and we hope we can find our desires in you. I will be expecting to read back from you before I proceed in giving you the job, accommodation, weekly pocket money, salary and other details. Have a nice day and be safe

Dowley Family

The 'designated travel agency' mentioned in this email is also fake and is part of the scam. You will notice, also, that the fake Dowley Family's email address has slightly changed.

We can assure you that when you come you will be treated like one of our family and you will be very happy to work with our family. If you think you have interest in our family,That our family is a kind of family you are looking for i think this is the next step to take....Regarding the traveling.You don't need to look further because we want to introduce you to one of our Designated Travel agency that made it possible for our last Au pair Roseline from Mexico...The agency is good and legal we assure you they will help you out.
All you have to do is to send them an email and make enquiries for what you need to be able to come hear in the USA,don't forget to tell them you are from Dowley Family and we will email them too all about what they can do to help you out. After having said all of these we would like to let you know that we would not be responsible for all your traveling expenses from the point of your departure to our place where you would be resuming your duty post , in any means . We are very sorry that this is our stand on this sponsorship issue of yours simply because we have experienced different dishonesty from various Aupair which we have tried to employ and help by sponsoring them in getting over to the U.S to our place all this while . About 2 aupairs did absconded at the airport as we was going to the airport to have them picked up to resume at our house , more so we did sent money to about 3 others which they did kept quiet and never respond after we did sent them the money to help them process their document, the last one requested that we send her our documents , so that her agent can help us process the documents that she would need to get over here , at the end of the day she never turned up and lawyer warned us never to send such document outside the U.S again that it was very risky . This was also the reason why we order our profile deleted from the site because it contains some information about us

We are letting you know all this simply because you may feel so bad and think we are not kind, so definitely it is not because we are a kind hearted family and we would treat you so well when you get here, we would prefer an Auapir who would be capable for some of her expenses and be able to sponsor her trip over here to the U.S by his or herself . We are very sorry if we have sounded terrible and make you feel disappointed but these are just grief from what we have suffered and experienced in the past from dishonesty of different Auapirs. So if we have to go by our family agency we will see what we can do do give you a hand but we are not pretty sure of that. We will stop here now until we read back from you. Have a nice day

BEST REGARDS
Dr. Mr/Mrs Dowley !!!
