This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. This scammer does not have a real au pair position to offer, and he does not really live in the UK: he is a Nigerian man, living in Nigeria. He has tried to hide where he is really located by using an Anonymous Proxy to hide his country's IP address.
The redirect telephone number is used by this scammer in many scams. You can see this if you copy and paste the following into a Google search:
The photographs sent by this scammer are 'stock photographs', available for anyone to purchase for use as illustrations or in advertisements. The scammer has purchased a set of these for use in his scam. You can see examples of these photos for sale here (right-click and open in new window or tab to also remain on this webpage):

Both the lawyer and the British Immigration are fake, and are part of the scam. The same scammer sends all the emails from the fake Dr Paul Jack, the fake lawyer, and the fake British Immigration.
As the same scammer is pretending to be all people in this scam, he certainly has not paid any money to anyone. He pretends that he has paid money, however, because he thinks that this will encourage au pairs to also pay. All money sent will be stolen by the scammer.
If an au pair is unable to pay the whole £350, the scammer will accept £150. He prefers to be able to steal £150 than to have no money sent at all.
