From the headers:

Guess what:

82.128.80.211 Nigeria (Lagos)

Again, the English is so not American!

So yes - it's another scam

Hey,

My sister and I received exactly the same email so it looks like a copy and paste job. My sister replied and his response was a bit bizarre. Apparently he checks out on facebook though so I'm not 100% sure. Maybe he just cba writing new emails every time but that's a sure fire way to put off any potential au pairs.

Good luck!

\Welcome to Scamwarners.
Scammers rarely send out single emails like that. They trawl through Craigslist, for example, collect email addresses from job seekers, and use the bcc field to send the same email to many people. The bcc field means that recipients don't see the names of the other recipients.
Which is why the email isn't personalised. It just starts "Hello".
