Meet our international community in Paris<\/strong> Like Laura, if you apply for babysitting jobs at Be My Nounou<\/a> and if you are recruited, you can participate to our special events! During these events we give you tips on how to become a real Parisian 😉 Housing, CAF, University, everything! Having a babysitting job<\/a> is not like other jobs in Paris! You are free most of the time during weekends and holidays! That is a real plus!<\/p>\n You will share your language with children and they will share their culture with you!That\u2019s a perfect match 😉! And don\u2019t worry, during the recruitment process we will carefully match you with the right family! No bad surprise for you!<\/p>\n If you want to find a job in Paris, here are some tips to act like a real Parisian:<\/strong>
\n\u201cSince I work with Be My Nounou I have been meeting students from Hong-Kong to California. I really appreciated Be My Nounou\u2019s events. It was something really important to me because I\u2019m trying to socialize in this big city. A lot of jobs in Paris don\u2019t bring people together but with a babysitting job I had the chance to meet a French family and International students!<\/em>\u00a0 Laura, 22 years old, Canada.<\/p>\n![\"babysitting](\"https:\/\/www.bemynounou.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/babysitting-job-paris-300x200.png\")
\nCultural exchange<\/strong>
\nBe part of a French family! You will be experiencing the intimacy of a French family, so you will improve your knowledge of French culture. An example for you: when comes time for the \u201cgo\u00fbter\u201d in France around 4pm, the kids get to eat some snacks. So do you know what a \u201cBN\u201d or a \u201cbrioche\u201d or a \u201cpain au chocolat\u201d are? Kids will teach you! You can also learn that there are two ways to name a \u201cpain au chocolat\u201d depending on where you are in France. People in South of France will call it a \u201cchocolatine\u201d, Parisian for example will call it a \u201cpain au chocolat\u201d. Make no mistake!<\/p>\n
\n\u2022 Don\u2019t hug people but kiss on each cheek. If you are in a more professional context, shake hands.
\n\u2022 Don\u2019t look happy all the time. As you might notice Parisians don\u2019t smile (that\u2019s a joke 😉)
\n\u2022 If you live in the suburb like Bagneux, Versailles, Aubervilliers etc.\u2026 \u2013 even if it\u2019s 10 min away from Paris: You are not a Parisian!
\nFor Parisian people, the rest of France (like Lyon, Bordeaux or Nice) is called \u201cProvince\u201d but be careful don\u2019t say \u201cProvince\u201d in anywhere else than in Paris.
\n\u2022 Be punctual: if you have an appointment at 13h be there between 12h50 and 13h05. After that it is too late. If you can\u2019t make it on time for some reason, make sure to let the person know about it, they would probably be comprehensive.
\n\u2022 If you apply for babysitting jobs get references! It\u2019s always a good point!<\/p>\n
