Hi Irene. Welcome to Scamwarners.
He's a scammer, so if you are in contact with him, just stop. I hope you haven't sent him any money. If you have, there''s no chance of getting it back.
It won't be the only scam email you get if your advertising for an au-pair job, so be careful. Ask here if you have any doubts or questions.

Welcome to Scamwarners irene.

Arnold is quite correct - a certain scam - it is far better for you to cease contact.

This advice here will answer your questions concerning what to do next;

Hi Irene and welcome to ScamWarners

I'm glad that my post has helped save you from being scammed.

As the others have said, be wary of anyone who emails you offering you au pair work, particularly if they recommend a travel agent for your visa, work permit and flight tickets.

The au pair sites such as greataupair.com are rife with scammers, I personally receive 1 or 2 scam offers a day.
