This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. These emails were not sent from the USA; they were sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.138.176.245 - Lagos, Nigeria.

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.

Subject: AUPAIR URGENT NEEDED

Hello! We are looking for a kind, energetic, caring person to come to California to be part of our family. I am a single mother and have two wonderful, happy children. Wyatt is 6 years old and Tessa just turned 4. They are both very active and love sports, drawing, being tickled, playing tag, swimming, biking, playing with Legos or Barbies, and climbing. They also like to listen to popular teenage music and dance!
We have had three au pairs in the past and have had wonderful experiences with all of them. They were not just babysitters; they became part of our family. We are looking for someone who loves children, likes to play, is responsible and has a strong moral compass. We are looking for someone who is also flexible, independent and energetic. Is that you?We live just north of San Francisco on the other side of the Golden Gate Bridge in Mill Valley. It is absolutely beautiful here and you will love it! We are surrounded by mountains, beaches and valleys and have a wonderful view from our house.A little bit about me...I am active just like my children. I run, bike and play soccer on a regular basis. I am a teacher and really enjoy my job. My ex-husband has the children only 8 days out of the month and the rest of the time they are with me. During the time that he has the children, you would have the time off. I live a healthy lifestyle and like being around people who have a positive outlook on life. I love my children more than anything in the world, and want to find someone who will come to adore them as well.First and foremost, I expect my au pair to enjoy being around children. I want Wyatt and Tessa to feel excited to spend time with you because you'll get on the floor and play with them. You must be able to drive because you will be driving my children to/from school and around town. My mother doesn't drive and lives near us, (She is the nicest lady on earth!) You will also fold laundry, keep the kids' room picked up, make the kids' lunches and empty the dishwasher. You will have your own room, your own phone and access to a computer.We look forward to talking with you and possibly sharing our culture, our home and country with you!
Kindly Contact us as soon as possible!

This is a stolen photograph sent by the scammer calling themself Cherrish Machado, who pretends that this is a photo of their own family.



When scammers request that money is sent to them, they frequently state that this must be sent through a money transfer service like Western Union or MoneyGram. Sometimes, however, they will also permit a wire transfer to a bank account. This scammer gives a bank transfer option in the email below.

Sometimes the bank account will belong to another scammer, or a friend or relative of the scammer. Other times, however, the bank account will belong to the victim of another scam who, for example, believes that they have a real job receiving money for a genuine business. For this reason, I have deleted the receiver's details in this email.
