Hi XXX,how are you doing? My dear this is everything u need to know
about my host family, their hostkids and your duties with
them,alright? If u have any questions feel free my dear,ok?
Well my dear,my host live in New Jersey with their two kids Otis and
Megan. They are nice and simple. My host dad, Mr. Fidel is a
construction agent and my host mum,Ms. Elsie is a doctor and because
of the nature of their job they are not around,they travel alot. So my
dear, u will be working as a live-in aupair for my host family and u
will be working 5hours a day as you are expected to take my 3 year old
host kid to school in the morning and later go back to pick him back
home from school in the afternoon.
On weekends you'll take them out to new places like beach and other
recreational places (You have free time). You are required to spend
time with my kid,running errands, house cleaning and light cooking is
a possibility, but not really a requirement.
My dear my host like someone who will reinforce their desire to teach
the kids their responsibilities and so u are not expected to undertake
their assigned tasks but instead to find ways to encourage them to
complete tasks. They will be offering you 100 Dollars as your pocket
money every weekend and they will be paying you 1000 dollars as your
salary every month end and you will be staying in the house with the
family. There is free internet facilities in the house for your use,
private room, bathroom and a private car for you to take him to school
provided you know how to drive or willing to learn driving, so will
take care of megan at home.
I have got Two host kids Otis and megan, Otis is 3years old and Megan
is a year old.. We love adventure,arts, traveling, soccer, literature
and that's why i adore my wonderful my host.
Otis and megan are very active and sharp, always wants a partner to
bounce,play and work with them.
Well the family's interests include going to the zoo, doing
yoga,soccer,snow skiing, walks in the park, play dates with friends
and also doing arts,literature and take them shopping, otis also likes
basketball, so have it mind that u may be playing basketball with my
host kid. You and the kids will be going for shopping once in
6weeks,is that ok my dear?
1) Also when they return back from school, you feed them and bath them
tune to cartoon stations for them to learn more and speak...
2)Communicate and play with them.
3)Help them with assignment from school.
4)Lunch is compulsory also supper all should be provided.
Well, thats all about the job for my family for now, i will like u to
convince my host that u will be capable and that u are up to the task
and can perform to their expectation,ok?
My dear, we have an agency here that can help you get the visa and
all other documents and u will be directed you to them as soon as we
already sign agreements to work with each other.
You have to know the US department of state will not issue visa to any
one as a nanny without going through an agency. These means the agency
we are referring you to are registered with the US department of
state.

Stay blessed

Emails from the fake agency

Hi Applicant,

Thanks for keeping in touch with us about your Application of becoming an Au Pair in USA. Agent

Au Pair is a national employment agency providing placement services for families seeking full-time,

part-time or temporary childcare in United States. We recruit, screen and interview qualified

applicants. We also verify references, conduct background checks and assist families, baby sitters,

Au pairs and nannies through the matching process.

About Us:

Agent Au Pair currently provides Au pairs from over 40 countries in Europe, Asia, Africa and South

America who are chosen for their passion to take a year off to satisfy their desire for an overseas

experience and care for children.

Agent Au Pair directors have over 2 decades of combined experience in the cultural exchange field

and possess a passion for fostering better relationships between foreign exchange visitors and

Americans in an effort to promote international cultural understanding and tolerance. Check on our

website for more details about us.

About The US Au Pair Program.

The Department of State established the Au pair program in 1986 as an educational and cultural

exchange with a strong childcare component. The U.S. government designates certain sponsors to

carry out the daily operations of the program and Agent Au Pair has been approved as one of the

few designated sponsor organizations. Click Approved Designation to see approval.

Au Pair Duties.

Au pair duties are related to childcare. This means that the Au pair can walk or drive the children to

school, straighten their rooms, do their laundry, prepare meals, undertake development activities

such as playing games, drawing or helping with homework. An Au pair is considered a member of

the family such as a big sister or brother and is not permitted to do heavy housework, gardening or

the parent's laundry.

How do I qualify to be an Au pair?

Being an Au pair in America is not for everyone. Taking care of young children requires maturity,

hard work and patience. And don't forget, you will also be adapting to a new culture and trying to

establish a solid relationship with the parents and children. The work will be challenging but can

also be rewarding and satisfying. You should be sure you are ready to work a full 12 months before

committing to the program. Learn more

Au Pair Training and Education:

You can study at a University while being an Au pair in the U.S. There is an educational requirement

to the program stating that Au pair participants must be enrolled in an accredited post-secondary

institution for not less than six hours of academic credit or its equivalent meaning you take at least

72 classroom hours of academic credit during your year-long stay in America. The host family will

provide up to $500 toward completion of this requirement.

You can take English classes or more diverse classes such as history, political science, literature or

even art or pottery. The choice is yours! Taking classes is interesting and fun and an excellent way

to meet American students... Learn More

The costs for an Au pair to participate in the US Au pair Program are set by the United States Au

pair agency organization. The following are only estimates of the costs to the Au pair each.

What is DS 2019?

The Form DS-2019 or "Certificate of Eligibility for Exchange Visitor (J-1) Status" is the basic

document used in the administration of the exchange visitor program.

This form permits a prospective exchange visitor to seek an interview at a U.S. embassy or

consulate in order to obtain a J visa to enter the United States.

The Form DS-2019 identifies the exchange visitor and their designated sponsor and provides a brief

description of the exchange visitor’s program, including the start and end date, category of
