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 US Au Pair Program:

Do not send money to any agency, embassy, lawyer, or other person introduced to you by a potential host family.
The travel agency is also fake, and is part of the scam.
These are some of the stolen photographs sent by this scammer, who pretends that they are photos of his own family. Three of these were also sent by the scammer calling himself David Wilson, as you can see here:
