Hiring a French-speaking Nanny for your family

Hiring a French-speaking Nanny is a perfect way to combine childcare and education for your children. Whether you are a French-speaking family yourselves and would like a Nanny who is able to ensure your children’s fluency in French continues, or you are looking for a Nanny to bring the language into your home and encourage your children to learn - a French-speaking Nanny is the best option for you.

Little Ones is able to provide your family French-speaking Nannies as either live-in or live-out as well as part-time, depending on your requirements. If you are interested in a live-in French-speaking Nanny, you will need to consider what accommodation you are able to provide. Typically a live-in Nanny is provided with a separate bedroom and a bathroom that can be shared with the children. However, as the experience and qualifications of the Nanny increase, they are able to look for positions that have a more extensive accommodation available to them.

If you are not looking for someone full-time, our French-speaking Nannies are able to care for your children as either a part-time Nanny or an Afterschool Nanny. An Afterschool Nanny is different from a part-time Nanny due to the hours they work. Afterschool Nannies typically work during the afternoon through to the early evening Monday to Friday. However, a part-time Nanny will typically work a few full days during the week, usually with younger children aged between newborn and 4 years old.

When you hire your French-speaking Nanny through Little Ones, your consultant will be able to guide and assist you on your journey. Your French-speaking Nanny consultant will ensure that you are able to hire a French-speaking Nanny that perfectly aligns with your childcare requirements. Little Ones will also test all potential French-speaking Nannies on the fluency of their French.

Hiring an experienced French-speaking Nanny agency, like Little Ones takes the stress and hassle of trying to resource an experienced French-speaking Nanny yourself.

Would I want to hire a French-speaking Nanny directly?

There are advantages and disadvantages to hiring a Nanny directly, without going through an agency. On one hand, it can be seen as more advantageous to employ your own French-speaking Nanny as it would provide continuity, increased familiarity with your French-speaking Nanny and you can almost count on finding a French-speaking Nanny that has the personality you are looking for. This may sound all well and good until you understand the strict legislation rules that apply to you as an employer, which once you hire a French-speaking Nanny for your family, you will become. For example, as an employer you will need to consider the living wage, the issue with a maximum of 48 hours a week your French-speaking Nanny may insist he or she can legally only be obliged to do. Also if your relationship with your French-speaking Nanny breaks down and you want to terminate their contract, you will need to prove that dismissal is fair. You would also need to ensure your French-speaking Nanny has a DBS check, and personally check their verbal references to ensure they have the experience they say they have, which can be very time-consuming. Finding a French-speaking Nanny in London can be a daunting task and Little Ones is here to assist at every step of the journey.
