This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. These emails were not really sent from the UK, they were sent from Nigeria, as proven by the IP address: 41.190.2.254 - Lagos, Nigeria.
These are some of the photographs used by this scammer, who pretends that they photos of his own family. They are actually stock photographs of models, which the scammer has purchased to use in his scam.

Subject: COME AND WORK IN MY FAMILY
Hello
I saw your profile on the Au pair site
We are a British family living in London, UK. I am a Medical Doctor here in London, i stay at No 182 Finchley Road, Hampstead, London NW3 6BP . I work in a Private Medical Centre.
We currently have a son aged 3 years old, we are looking for a Au Pair or Nanny from Any Country and is willing to stay with us
About Our Family
We are a professional couple, living here in the UK .Our son is fairly easy going and relaxed, he would enjoy someone with lots of energy and enthusiasm.. Having English as a first language is not required and in fact, we would entertain the nanny speaking to them in
her own mother-tongue..
We only seek a Au pair for basic child care and light housework. If you accept to take a position with us, you would be paid the sum of £2,000( Two thousand pounds sterling) with a weekly pocket money of £500. Hence we are doing anything that would motivate the intending Nanny to put in her best in taking care of our children.
You shall have a private accommodation with furnished sitting room and bedroom and also a private bathroom. A Fixed land phone and an Internet ready computer. and you will have Saturday and Sunday as your own free day, you can go anywhere you like or spend it with us if you like
Do well to send us your references or resume & also an update picture of yourself, and we would get in touch with them. Should the outcome be positive, we would send you a Contract Letter. We shall discuss travel arrangements in due course of which I would be of generous assistance to you. You can reach me on my personal mobile to indicate your interest. My Number is +447012993512 or [email protected]
We sincerely look forward to hearing from you.
Best Wishes
Dr Micheal Kevin

Subject: TO OUR WONDERFUL AUPAIR
Hello Au pair,
It was nice to get to hear from you,i told my family about you and they love it, so I have considered hiring you for your services. However as regards your flight ticket that will be handled by me and also some other relevant documents you might be needing to proceed into the UK,but you have to take care of your UK visa fees nothing much I presume.So if you agree with these terms please let me know so that I can have my lawyer issue you your contract/invitation letter and also all the necessary details on how to obtain your traveling papers.
But first let me tell you a little bit about my family,
we are down to earth people not arrogant,we respect our employees opinion very much,my son is the most adorable things on the face of the earth we love them so much and so will you I hope.We are also easy going people my wife and I.
I leave for work early in the morning 7.30am,my wife is a seamstress so she is a little more around the house than I
The family those a lot of outings,we go fishing sometimes my wife and I,also to the beach together the whole family.
Best wishes
Dr Micheal Kevin
For the family.
