This is not a genuine au pair opportunity; it is a scam. Both the host family and the Immigration Center are fake. The fake Immigration Center may include a link to a genuine website in their email, but this is only included to appear authentic. The sender of the email has no connection with any genuine company or organisation.
The following email is similar to many other scam mails. You can view some of these from here:

warm and friendly attitude. she likes playing a lot and i do not
think you will have any problem with her so far she eats and plays
well. She likes candy,chocolate and she likes watching cartoon
movies. She is very intelligent and loves to take after people,this is
the more reason i will appreciate someone with good qualities to be
her aupair so that she doesn't take to bad influence. Me as a father
likes to plays a very active role in her life.

school. You will have a free period then whereby you can do any
vocation or practice whatever is at your disposal. Then you will help
monitor her after she is brought home by the school bus. Just act like

like it.
You are free to start as soon as possible, I will appreciate you
coming immediately but any date of your choice will also be welcome.
You will have every weekend as your off day as i will not be going to

Universities here that offer good and qualitative courses here. Let me
