This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. You can see near-identical scam mails here:

Subject: Can You Work With Us As An Au Pair?

Hello dear,

We are looking for an au pair girl aged 19 to 40.we are a young couple 34 years, with a beautiful girl (Sophia)she is just 2 years. We live in a big house, just meters from the beach and we are happy to welcome you into our home like a member here in USA Indianapolis. Come and meet us! ,I speaks solely German with Sophia and would love for your to do that, too if you can but If you can't no problem,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 Indianapolis. Since we love running and sports in general, we live right next to the Monon Tail, a bike path that goes all the way to downtown Indianapolis. 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 with us. We would really like for you to already have some experience with children of Sophia's age.We expect you to help with small household chores, e.g. prepare or warm up small healthy meals for Sophia, 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 storytime a couple of times a week, play dates, and she will be starting school in Next Month twice a week. She 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 Sophia, however. Care for her wholeheartedly, spend time with her, play with her, explain and teach her new things (she is very curious and asks lots of questions), read her stories, draw and paint with her, play music etc.We do not like TV. Thus, Sophia 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 ([email protected]) and feel free to ask us anything you would like to know

Thanks
Mary Fertig
