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 think I am qualified as a participant because I am very motivated and very open-minded. Going to the United States as an Au Pair has been my dream since I was young. Independent by nature I like adventure and discover new cultures and I especially like the American culture. I know very well how to take care of children from my experience and I enjoy looking after them too. I am studying health to be a midwife and I would like to do humanitarian work later, making this trip would be a first approach. I am very sociable and I adapt because I have done many internships or I have taken care of the elderly and people in hospitals. I also took care of children a lot.

I want to be an Au Pair to develop my English, and to learn about a new culture different to my own. I also really like children. I grew up surrounded by children and am used to looking after children. It is something I enjoy! I think I would make a good Au Pair because I am open minded and willing to share ideas with people, as well as share my culture with the children and learn about theirs. I have a safety qualification and would be happy to play lots of sports with the children.

Comments
Coming from a large family (five children), I have always been surrounded by my brothers and sisters, so I was able to experience community life ! From a very young age, I had to look after my little brother, take care of a house alone, cook food... And this allowed me to develop many responsibilities, but also patience ! Moreover, the sense of sharing and respect for family values have always been ingrained in me, and I would love to share them with the children. I am a trusty person and I would like to be a "big sister" with whom the children will be able to confide, laugh, cook and play, especially since I know how to stay calm when necessary and how to organize. In general, I am very curious, I like to leave, travel, take off, take on responsibilities; so go abroad for a year doesn't scare me, on the contrary it stimulates me and makes me grow at every step.
Child Care Experience
I took care of a group of children ages 7 to 10 once a week between September 2014 and May 2017. I taught them how to play volleyball. Since September 2020, twice a week, I help the volleyball head coach organize trainings for a group od children ages 10 to 13. In August and October 2020, for 2 weeks, I was a volleyball assistant coach and taught a group of children ages 9 to 15.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
I am interested by cinema, litterature, music (I am used to listen to some 'good vibes' music when I awake), I love discover any new language and culture, I am also a pet lover (dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, bunnies and so on...), I am currently a volley-ball player (and lover). I also appreciate hiking and horse-riding. I do like sports in general. It's a passion and an essential part of my life, because they make me feel good for the day.
Comments
When I watch and take care of children, they become my siblings for a moment. When I began coaching youngsters, I was so scared of what they would think of me and my learning approach. Finally, their parents told me that they (them and their children) were very satisfied with my methods. It was the best reward I could have get. I love communicate with young people. Some of my very good friends are from others places. I enjoy spending time with them because I can realize that the way we see the world is different.
Child Care Experience
From June until July 2015, I took care of Nathan (2 years) and Alexis (4 years). I cooked for them, played with them, and did in- and outdoor activities with them. I also assisted with naptime. In June 2016, I took care of Swan (6 months). I changed diapers, gave her the baby bottle, prepared the bottle, and put her to sleep for afternoon naps.
Sports, Interests and Hobbies
Surfing, walking, riding my bike, going to restaurants, meeting people, traveling, cooking
Comments
I would like to be an au pair because I would like to improve my English which is essential for my work and for my personal life. I would like to integrate a family to exchange our cultures, and to discover American life and I would love to take care of children and learn from them! In addition, leaving my country for a few months and discovering another one on a daily basis would be an incredible personal experience that would make me grow! All my friends who went abroad for a few months came back with enriching experiences. I'm a qualified person to be an au pair because even if all children are different, I've already taken care of children of different ages. I have the necessary qualities: I am responsible, autonomous, adaptability, versatile, and honest.
