This is an au pair scam. There is no au pair position, and the only purpose of this scam is to make you pay for non existing work permits, visa, and other travel documents. Don't fall for this scam!
This is the same scammer who was using the names of Dr Mark Dover/Dickson, note that the same fake travel agency is used.

Hello Au pair,
I saw your profile on the Easy Au pair- site.
I live at No 30 Latimer Road, Headington, Oxford, OX3 7PF, UK .
We currently have some kids aged 2 & 4 years old, we looking for a Au Pair or Nanny from Any Country that can speak English and is willing to stay with us for a minimum of 6 or 12 month(s).
We are a British family living in UK, Am a specialist Doctor in St Luke's Hospital, Oxford.
About Our Family
Our kids are fairly easy going and relaxed,they would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..
We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £2800(Two thousand eight hundred pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £200. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.
You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer.Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would send you a Contract Letter. We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course of which I would be of generous assistance to you. You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447045754032 or [email protected]
We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Dr Wilson MacDonald.
Hello Au pair,
It was nice to get to hear from you,i told my family about you and they love it, so I have considered hiring you for your services. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your UK visa fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,
we are down to earth people not arrogant,we respect our employees opinion very much,our kids are the most adorable things on the face of the earth we love them so much and so will you I hope.We are also easy going people my wife and I.
I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,my wife is a seamstress so she is a little more around the house than I am,our kids both attend the same school they leave at 8.30am come back by 1.00pm
