#3 : Because working as a Teacher or a "Nanny" is rewarding and you will learn a lot!
Babysitting is one of the most rewarding jobs out there. There's nothing that beats watching a child grow up, learn and experience life for the first time. What's more, by babysitting you create a special bond with the child that develops to play an important role in their development! The work you do will not last 10 minutes, or even a few days... it will last a lifetime!
When you introduce the learning of a new language into the mix, it gets even better! The feeling of seeing a child take in and learn to appreciate your language and culture is so fulfilling and gives our nannies a real sense of achievement. Not only that, but in a decade or even more time, when the child is beginning to socialise with internationals and look for jobs, it is the seeds that you have planted at a young age in a foreign language that will aid their communication skills and render the, more employable.
The early days of the child's stubbornness towards you and the new language as soon forgotten as they first show signs of understanding what you say. You could be playing a game and, all of a sudden, the child is able to react immediately to the instructions you are giving in English. The next thing you know, they will have plucked up the courage to greet you in your language and ask you how you are. For many of our babysitters, it is that moment then that brings an overwhelming sense of joy.

#6 : Because all those famous Americans have done it. So should you!
Moving to France from America can be daunting and you may feel like the first person in the world to take on the culture change. However, there's a great number of successful Americans who have come before you... did you know that? Here's some of the big names who have made their homes in Paris in the past...
F. Scott Fitzgerald - Many American Jazz Age writers spent time in Paris after World War I, but none more prolific than F. Scott Fitzgerald himself. The novelist moved to the capital from the Riviera, where he had just finished the infamous The Great Gatsby. He frequented the bars of Montparnasse, ate at Les Deux Magots and brought up his daughter here before moving back to the U.S.A. when his wife became ill.
Zelda Fitzgerald - His wife is Zelda Fitzgerald. The famous socialite and flapper girl loved the ballet scene in Paris, practicing at L'Olympia theatre. Her hobbies are plain to see in her short novel, 'Save Me The Waltz', and it is widely thought that her commitment to ballet is what drove her towards schizophrenia at the end of their stay.
Ernest Hemmingway - The writers came thick and fast in the 1920s and Ernest Hemmingway could often been seen with F. Scott Fitzgerald. Their relationship was rocky at the best of times, with Hemmingway looking down on Fitzgerald's more modern behaviour, but the two seemed to get on well enough in the French capital!
Johnny Depp - Depp may not spend all his time in Paris, but it is true that he owns an appartement in the Le Marais area. The actor spends a lot of time in Texas, but with his daughter the new face of Chanel, you might just seem him strolling by the Seine!
Josephine Baker - You might well see her name around Paris, as it is true that American dancer and activist Josephin Baker plied her trade in the French capital. She was another of the American Jazz Age bunch who came across the ocean, and Baker did indeed find a lot of fame and success in France.
