This is a fake au pair job scam. There is no job, just a scammer looking to steal your money.
Dear XXX,
How are you and the family doing?
Thanks a lot for taking your precious time to read about us and also your interest to join my family. I am from California, Unites States of America, my husband and I are both Americans
You are required to work 6 hours a day extra hours will be paid depending on duties required, your contract stay with my family is 1 year, contract can be extended if everything goes well after the first year, Your duty is to spend time with the children, running errands, house cleaning and light cooking is a possibility, but not really a requirement.
On weekends you'll take the kids out to new places like beach and other recreational places (You have free time). I prefer you to reinforce our desire to teach the children responsibilities and do not expect to undertake the children assigned tasks but instead to find ways to encourage them to complete tasks. I will be offering you $750 per week and you will be staying indoor with my family.
There is a college nearby that offers all kinds of English classes, ranging from Language courses to Sports, and everything in between. There are other school and facilities located nearby also encase you are interested.
There is free internet facilities in the house for your use, private room, bathroom and a private car for you in taking the kids out provided you know how to drive or willing to learn driving. I have 2 lovely kids named Emily (7 years old) and Kayla (5 years old). We love adventure, arts, traveling, soccer, literature, laughter and our wonderful kids. They are very polite and active wanting a partner to bounce and spin with them.
The family's interests include the zoo, doing yoga, soccer, water skiing, snow skiing, walks in the park, play dates with friends, the arts, literature, traveling, shopping, and our kids. You and the kids will be going for shopping once in 3 weeks.
Convince me that you are capable of doing this job to my satisfaction.
I'm waiting your quick reply,
Amanda.

My little kids are so excited and they will definitely fall in love with you because this will be their first experience of an Au pair taking care of them.
I was an Au pair as a child and have found memories of sharing our home and family with people looking for new international experience. I told my daughters that their big sister you will join us soon and they are very excited and can't wait to meet you,
My husband and I have not had an Au pair before but there are a lot of Au pairs in this area and we are sure you would enjoy the time spent with us.
Considering the fact that we have already taken you as part of us, i have some questions for you and hope to receive an answer soon.
