Considering welcoming a French Nanny Housekeeper in your household?
What is the role of a French Nanny Housekeeper?
Hiring a French-speaking nanny-housekeeper is an excellent option for families looking for reliable, multi-skilled support at home. Combining childcare with light household duties, these professionals offer a personalised, flexible solution that brings peace of mind—whether they live in or commute daily.
Unlike nurseries or after-school clubs, a nanny-housekeeper provides dedicated attention to your children and maintains the smooth running of your home, all tailored to your family’s routine and preferences.
The Flexibility You Need
Whether live-in or live-out, a nanny-housekeeper brings structure and stability to daily life. They adapt to your schedule—helping early in the morning, covering school runs, or staying later in the evening if needed. This flexibility is especially valuable for working parents or those with unpredictable hours.
Key Responsibilities
French nanny-housekeepers typically split their time between childcare and light housekeeping, including:
Getting children ready for school or nursery
School drop-offs and pick-ups
Preparing meals and snacks for the children
Supervising homework and organising after-school activities
Keeping play areas and children’s rooms tidy
Washing and folding children’s laundry
Light household tasks such as loading the dishwasher, emptying bins, or general tidying
(Heavier tasks—like deep cleaning, full-family meal prep, or ironing—should be agreed in advance if required, as they are not usually standard.)
They also keep children engaged with age-appropriate games, creative activities, trips to the park or library, and enriching routines that support healthy development.
Language & Culture at Home
A French-speaking nanny-housekeeper does more than just support your home—they bring an immersive language and cultural experience. Whether your children are already bilingual or just starting to learn French, regular daily exposure improves comprehension and fluency naturally.
In addition to speaking French, many of our candidates also introduce children to French traditions, values, cuisine, and customs—offering your family a rich multicultural environment from the start.
Working in Harmony
Whether your nanny-housekeeper lives with you or commutes, mutual respect and clear communication are key to a successful relationship. Discuss expectations and schedules openly, and be mindful of their personal time, just as they will respect your family’s privacy and boundaries.
