Art, history, science, the Eiffel Tower, delicious baguettes — France is famous for many things. When looking for a culturally enriching experience for your children, you should consider a French au pair. Your children will enjoy hearing a new language from their live-in nanny while also learning about new things. The wisdom of using live-in child care from France is that you benefit in many ways beyond simply finding a caregiver. Your entire family will learn more about French culture from in many ways:
- Your children can learn about French traditions and experience them first-hand (such as making crepes on Mardi Gras!);
- Your children can be exposed to a new language as your au pair can read them stories in French or teach them the alphabet in French;
- Your family can ask questions and hear from a native how growing up and living in France really is.
When you use EurAupair to host an au pair from France, you can feel secure you’re getting the best possible match for your family’s needs. We have been connecting au pairs from Europe, South America and Africa with American families for three decades, and we know how to find a fit that’s right for everyone.
Getting to Know Your Au Pair From France
The French culture is a mix between Northern and Southern Europe. A live-in nanny from France may be more punctual than a Spanish au pair for example, but will be more flexible on schedule than say a German au pair. Typically, French au pairs will be able to communicate any issues or concerns and will enjoy participating in the family life.
French couples have on average two children. While large families are less common than they use to, France still has one of the highest average number of children per family in Western Europe. French people have rather strong family values and will typically gather every evening as a family for dinner and meet for hours-long meals with near-by relatives on weekends and holidays. You can usually expect your French au pair to enjoy cooking and to participate in your family dinners and get-togethers.
French children will usually leave home at around 18 years old to pursue post-secondary studies in larger cities. They will get their own apartment and become independent at quite an early age.
French au pairs will usually have experience in doing private baby-sitting as well as being camp counselors. The French BAFA is a certificate for young adults (17+ years old) to become qualified camp counselors during holidays or during the summer. Some French high school students receive first aid instructions although it is not a mandatory part of their curriculum.
The French’s driver’s exam (written and practical) is very challenging. One can drive with a parent in the car from 16 years old but the driver’s license can only be obtained at 18 years old. Dozens of hours of actual driving experience is required to obtain a license. Public transportation is well developed in large cities but young adults outside of the main cities will most likely own a car and drive regularly. It is always recommended that you discuss your driving needs with your au pair.
French students are required to learn two foreign languages (starting in middle school) and English must be one of the two. The English curriculum in France will focus a lot on reading and writing so French student will usually be better in writing and reading than listening and speaking. It may be useful with your French au pair to write down any guidelines and schedule to make sure they are understood. Also, it is not uncommon for the French to think that their spoken English is way worse than what it actually is!

I want to become an au pair in USA because i like this country; but why this exchange program ? Because it's fantastic to participate to the evolution of children, to help them to evolved with someone else than his native family. They will make me grow up too they will give me a lot, to adapt me to each others with a different culture...Help parents too , it's sometimes hard to link work and family work , with au pair we can meet new people , a new family and I like this spirit. This is not the goal of our life to meet new people share our vision, cultures, differences. I'm qualified because I have the maturity to take care of children and adapt to their personality, character. This strength makes me serious and motivation. I think I have enough perspective not to encroach on the education of parents, the attention I have acquired will also help me to be attentive to their attentions.

From 2015 until 2017, I took care of Enzo and Samuel (6 to 8 years and 10 to 12 years). I helped them wit homework and prepared dinner for them. I also played in- and outdoors with them, picked them up from school, and brought them to bed. From 2017 until 2019, I took care of Heloise and Stephan (3 to 4 years and 5 to 6 years).

I got my degree last year and I want to keep improving my English while discovering new cultures and new places. I wanted to be an Au Pair since a long time. I think that I am qualified for being an Au Pair because I am open-minded, social, curious, and can connect to children really well. I have worked with children for a long time. Furthermore, I see this adventure as a human and enriching exchange program, also it is an important opportunity I would like to experience. It will make me grow.

I want to become an au pair mostly because I dream of living in the USA and I absolutely love children. I consider myself qualified because I know I can take care of people’s children just as much as if they were mine. I am also very determined, I am currently signing up for my driving license to get it as quickly as possible. Plus, I have already experience in babysitting.
