Working as a Nanny in Paris
Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of Europe's foremost centres for finance, commerce, fashion, science, and the arts. Paris’s culture and easy access to many different schools make it a wonderful place to raise children, and now it is a prevalent base for French and ex-pat families.
Children are taught English from the age of 7 in schools in France on a bi-weekly basis. However, locals believe the English taught in the public system can sometimes be rather basic. Many parents look for ways for their children to speak more English and widen their vocabulary. In a cosmopolitan city like Paris, parents can hire an English-speaking nanny to speak English with their children from a young age and open their minds to a different culture.
In comes the English-speaking nanny!
Children can more easily adopt a new language if they are exposed to it from a young age. Learning through play is one of the fastest ways for youngsters to get to grips with a new language.
