Scams offering fake Au Pair positions
by Chris Fuller Tue Aug 14, 2012 5:40 am
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.
