French Live Out Nannies

Why Choose a French Live-Out Nanny?

If you’ve decided that a nanny is the best childcare option for your family, a French live-out nanny offers an ideal balance of professional care, language immersion, and flexibility, without requiring live-in arrangements.

With a live-out nanny, your children receive consistent, individualised attention in the comfort of their own home. You’ll always know who is looking after them, and you won’t have to worry about nursery waiting lists or changing staff.

Flexibility That Fits Your Routine

Live-out nannies typically work set hours during the day, offering structure and routine, but with the added flexibility to support your family’s specific needs—whether it’s help with the school run, after-school care, or full-day support during school holidays.

This arrangement allows for a clear boundary between family and professional life, which can be preferable for both parties, while still offering the benefits of one-on-one care.

Language & Cultural Enrichment

Opting for a French-speaking nanny gives your child the gift of early language exposure. Whether you’re a bilingual household or simply want your child to learn French from an early age, this immersion helps children develop fluency naturally and confidently.

In addition to language, your child will also be introduced to French culture and traditions, making everyday routines and activities a rich, educational experience.

Duties You Can Expect

Typical responsibilities of a live-out nanny include:

• School drop-offs and pick-ups

• Preparing simple, healthy meals or snacks for the children

• Supporting homework and reading

• Organising engaging, age-appropriate activities

• Keeping play areas tidy and maintaining general order in the children’s spaces

While light housekeeping related to the children is usually included, tasks like deep cleaning, family cooking, or ironing are not standard unless agreed in advance.

Maintaining a Healthy Working Relationship

Even though a live-out nanny doesn’t reside in your home, maintaining mutual respect is still essential. Open communication is key—if your needs change over time, it’s important that both you and your nanny are comfortable with any updates to the arrangement.
