Anyone have a daughter over 21 wanting an au-pair job in France?

The family grapevine has shared that my first cousin once removed (who I do know personally ;) ) is looking for an au pair.

 

She's looking for someone for a year who:

Is over 21

Has a drivers licence

 

All food, accommodation & healthcare provided plus 400 Euro per month wage. Job involves taking the lad to school & to his various activities and helping out around the house (not full housekeeping but odd jobs here and there).

 

I thought someone might want an adventure :)

 

My cousin speaks Polish and French (obviously) and enough English to get around on. Her husband speaks only French, I think. The lad also speaks Polish and French, and has been learning English at school (creche/kindergarten/something like that) for about three years. I would imagine she'd want someone with some French, but as to whether that is mandatory, you'd have to ask her :)

Oh man! This would have been my DREAM job... 20 years ago. :lol: But seriously, exactly what I wanted to do at that age. Great opportunity for someone!!

Yeah, I did dream of this job about 9 years ago! But the job wasn't open yet, since the lad is only 7 or 8 :)

 

I suppose if anyone has an over 21 year old son who wants to be an au pair, he could apply. I put daughter in the title without thinking that a bloke might want to be one. Boys don't become au pairs, do they?

If the arrangement is private/informal, then the applicant needs to consider visas and also health insurance, as - I think - s/he will count as a tourist as far as the French government is concerned. There is information on this page about becoming an official au pair in France.
