Hello, thanks for the mail. i need your service in my home for about at least 6 months. i stay here in USA Los Angeles to be precise.

SCHEDULE your job is not a hard one,I do not
believe in supervising or
monitoring people to do their job.I believe people should be giving a
free role in whatever they do.So,I believe you should be able to
perform well without being told.All entails preparing him for school
n the morning,taking him to the point where the school bus picks up
to school.You will have a free period then whereby you can do any
vocation or practice whatever is at your disposal.Then you help
monitor him
after he his back home by the school bus,just to make
sure he his alright. and also with some little house chore
because you will be staying in my house.hope you are okay with it? i have attached some pics of me and my son for you to see how wonderful my family is. please feel free to ask me any question.

Regards.

The agent is also fake, and is part of the scam.

From: Helen Mathew <[email protected]>

Hello, how are you ? i will like you ??o contact this email address:[email protected],he has been our family agent for years. so i will like you contact him,let him Know you are from me okay! My reason for asking if you can receive a cheque is because i will issue a cheque for you. To deposit with your bank for instant cash to pay fot the processing of your traveling documents and ticket.please do not forget get back me with response of the agent.

Regards

The cheque will be fake. When the bank discovers that it is fake, the money it represents will be removed from the au pair's bank account. Therefore, the cash sent - which the scammer pretends is for documents - will actually be subtracted from the au pair's own money. You can read more about cheque scams here:
