This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam.

Subject: My Family And I Read Your Profile.

Dear Au-pair,

How are you doing today,i believe you are fine.My family read
your profile at the above named website.The reason we contacted you is
that we are in need of an Au-pair.
We have tried our best in taking care of our only daughter
Precious.And because of our engagements and work schedules at
office,my wife and i have no chance of looking after our only
daughter. We reside here in United Kingdom.
We had this discussion last night and decided to contact you,and
to know how possible it will be to have you as one.My Precious has
grown complaisant and because she is too precious to us.We've made
every necessary arrangement to shoulder all the expenses.
Kindly write to me if you are willing and ready to come and work for
me as au-pair.

Best Regards

Looking forward to hearing from you.

This scammer pretends that an au pair needs to make a Proof of Sufficient Funds by transferring money using Western Union or MoneyGram. This is bogus - the genuine UK Home Office never requests that proof of sufficient funds is made in this way.

If money is transferred by Western Union or Money Gram, and the details of the transfer, or a scan of the receipt, is sent to the scammer, the scammer will collect this money and steal it. The scammer is able to do this, regardless of which name the transfer is made to.

Never send any money by Western Union or Money Gram on the instruction of a host family, or on the instruction of anyone who they have introduced to you.

These are the stolen photographs sent by this scammer, who pretends that they are photos of his own family. The scammer uses the same photos when pretending to be other host families; you can see some examples here:
