This is an au pair scam. There is no au pair position and no family, just a scammer trying to steal money from you. The travel agency is fake, and the email address for it was registerred by this scammer. Don't fall for this scam.

Hello Au Pair/ Nanny,
This is Morren Smith Family,Our family speaks both English and German. We have an adorable daughter and a loving boy Sophia is 7 years of age while Jerry will turns two in August. Mommy speaks solely German with Sophia and would love for your to do that, too. Daddy speaks English. We have no experience with Au Pairs, yet. However, I was fortunate to spend a year as an Au Pair after graduating high school and really enjoyed that time! We recently moved to San Diego. Since we love running and sports in general, we live right next to the California. We love Shopping, movies etc. are in walking distance from our house as well. We love cooking together and spending time as a family. Our jobs require us to work different hours at times. This is the exception rather than the rule. Usually we are home between 5 and 6 PM.
We are looking for an Au Pair who would like to spend a few months or year with us. We would really like for you to already have some experience with children of Sophia's and Jerry age. We expect you to help with small household chores, e.g. prepare or warm up small healthy meals for the kids. empty the trash or the dishwasher every now and then, vacuum if necessary and keep the house tidy in general. It amazes us every time how a toddler can create a mess in a matter of seconds. Sophia goes to the library for story time a couple of times a week, play dates, Jerry will be starting school in September twice a week. Sophia also does gymnastics and plays soccer.
We would love for her to continue attending these activities after I return to work since she enjoys them very much. Primarily you should focus on her kids very well because thats out life and everything, however. Care for her wholeheartedly, spend time with them. play with them, explain and teach them new things they are very curious and asks lots of questions, read her stories, draw and paint with them, play music etc. We do not like TV. Thus, because they like's watch cartoons and other popular children shows.
We do not smoke.Furthermore, we are not responsible for Visa, travel and healthcare expenses. Due to the nature our jobs, we ask for a detailed background check prior to arrival.I hope I can make your stay fun and comfortable!So if that sounds interesting to you, just drop us an email or reply us back and feel free to ask us anything you would like to know.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Morren Smith Family.
