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

leaving them alone at home at all time so I really would appreciate

permit, I would advise you email my agency to help you for the UK Visa
and Work Permit, here is the link that you will contact them
([email protected] ) If you contact them let them know you
are from me and explain to them all you need for the traveling to UK
and I want to tell you that I will help you pay for the half payment
that the agent ask you to pay for the visa and work permit here just
to tell you how urgent I need you here and to assure you on how
serious I am about you coming here to work for my family as an Au pair,
the job is already yours and I will be very grateful if you respond
better to me, You have nothing to worry about because you will be
treated like one

money,and 1,000 pounds for monthly.Which i think is okay by you?
