Here are the five steps to follow to find your perfect nanny job in Paris.
1 – Use A Nanny Agency
Using an agency to help you with your search for a nanny job in Paris can boost your chances of finding a role greatly. Even before you contact the agency, they have a great number of French families looking for a nanny and are always a step ahead. It saves you time trying to find strangers online, cuts out the chances of any fraud or disappointment and you’ll feel less alone during the process.
Agencies can also offer you advice for any other problems you have while in Paris, run social events in France and support you if there were to be any issues with a family. For instance, here at Mômji, we pride ourselves on our friendly relationship with our nannies and see each other regularly to make sure everything is going well !
2 – Plan What You’re Going to Do
Whether you’ve had nannying experience before or not, it’s important to re-think your skills when moving to Paris. A lot of families will be looking for an English-speaking nanny to help teach their children English and it’s therefore important to be aware of that.
Getting some experience in teaching would be a huge boost to your profile, although just being aware of teaching techniques or games would suffice. Doing a bit of research on typical French life, there’s no school on Wednesday afternoons, for example, could go a long way too.
3 – Apply
Once you’re prepared and ready to go, it’s time to apply to our babysitting jobs. Choose the agency that bests suits you and head over to their application form . These are normally short and won’t take too much of your time. Simple questions about you, your availabilities and contact details will be taken.
Following that, you can expect a call from the agency to take your application further!
4 – The Interview
Remember, the nannying agency is your friend, and there’s no need to be worried about the interview process! For example, here at Mômji, we have a quick chat over the phone to get to know you then invite you over to the Speaking-Factory in Paris (or via Skype if elsewhere) to better introduce ourselves.
For interviews, remember that teaching research you’ve done, be prepared to talk enthusiastically about past experiences and just be yourself! The nanny agency needs you just as much as you want them, try and enjoy the experience.
