This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. You will notice that it is very similar to the scam mails shown here:

Dear Au pair,
I have decided to find an Au-pair because I need help looking after my son. I am looking for an Au-pair to be a big sister or brother to my son and to become another member of my family. My name is Mr. Mike Ballo, a Civil Engineer and I am 40 years, a single father. I live in a three bedroom house in San Antonio Texas, USA. I have one son and his name is Donald and he is 4 years old. He is a lovely kid and he likes to go to the parks once a week and I would like my Au-pair to take him.
I will require you to take care of my kid for about 30 hours a week. You will have weekends off and I will pay you $333.438 per week pocket money which I will give to you every Friday. My residence is very open and near the city and there are other Au-pairs close by. There is also a good language school and I will encourage you to go for lessons there to learn English if you wish to. In the area there is one pub full of young people, a shop/post office and a hall where people get together to have parties. There is also a bus stop outside my house with direct access into the city center. You will have your own bedroom and your own bathroom either live in or live out fully furnished, plus desk phone and computer system with internet and also you be starting early July. Would that be a problem to you? I do not have any pets and do not smoke.
I need an Au pair to start with us soon and stay until at least 6 months or more. I will need you to drive my second car if you can and I shall arrange some driving lessons for you when you arrive. You may use this car for taking my son to school, going to your English classes and for your private use. Send me your Resume and also a picture of yours so I can commence on the necessary arrangement of your paper work down here in the USA so as to avoid delay when you intend coming down to the USA. My son and I are looking forward to a kind hearted fun Au-pair to fit in.
I will not pay for any traveling expenses such as visa and flight ticket, but I can direct you on the best ways to get them faster, hence If you are interested and would consider being my Au-pair, please let me know as soon as you can so that I can make the necessary inquiries and get back to you.
Yours sincerely
Mr.Mike Ballo.
