This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. The travel agency is also fake, and is part of the scam.

How are you again? I really appreciate your response and understanding towards my expression. My family is located in Florence Alabama and my home address is (214 Rivermont Rd.Florence, Alabama, 35634). Am a Medical Doctor by profession and my husband work in an engineering company. The nature of our job make us travel a lot and there is no much time for the kids which is the reason why we do need an aupair. We have a cook but we can't expect him to include the work of a nanny or aupair to is work, we need someone honest, caring and trustworthy in our Household because the cook is only the one left at home with the kids whenever we are on trip. In our family there is no single difference between the family member and the workers because we treat everybody like one of our family member. You will have your Private Room which will have Bathroom, Toilet, , Air-Conditional. You will have access to the Internet and a Telephone at home to get in touch with your friends and loved ones. You will be having Fridays,Saturdays and Sundays as your off days, so to enable you have enough time for yourself. Our kids love to meet new people and relate with them in a repsectful manner. You will not be working too much in the house at all..Your duties is to take the kid to school,House caretaker,Domestic Helper,if you have a driver's license you can use my car to do that,Bringing them back from school and play with them, go to museums, playground, watching movies, prepare/serving their snacks and foods,entertain them in the evening when you come back. We have a lot of aupair nearby which means you can make friends easily. I will like you to email me too all about you and I'll also like to have your cell phone number plus area in your reply. I would like to know if you are single or married, kid or no kid, working prsently or not, what you do for fun, your favourite food and whatever you think someone can know about you. Regarding your wages the best I can do is $2050 as your monthly salary and $350 as your weekly pocket money let me know if you are okay with that but that is the best I can do for now. Please I want an Au pair that is friendly and honest that have God fearing for my kids cos I really love them and I can't afford to let them get hurt. Regarding your coming over... You don't need to look further because I can introduce you to one of my Family Designated Travel agency that made it possible for our last Au pair but if you feel you have an agency that would help you out its all good but please take note that I will not be sending any of my document outta the states and I won't be responsible for your traveling expenses so you know you have to shoulder your travel expenses even if you are making use of my family agency. I dont want you to feel like am sounding hard here it is just because I am tired of dancing to the same bit all the time. I tried to help some aupair which I met online to get over here but at the end they all got me screwed up, one of them request for my document which I did sent to him but he eventualy use it for something else which almost got me into jail and I have been warned by my lawyer never to send my document oversea for any reason again. I hope you understand where am coming from and also take my experience into consideration. If you can make it here on your own I won't hesitate to return all the money you spent for the trip but other than that I am not going to shoulder anymore aupair travel expenses or send my document over to anyone. So I 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 herself . I am very sorry if i have sounded terrible and make you feel disappointing but these are just grief from what I have suffered and experienced in the past from dishonesty of different Auapir. Let me know if I have to include the agency email in the next mail so that you can go ahead, contact them and make inquiry regarding what you need to do for your coming over. Have a nice day and hope to read back from you soon. Be safe
