Baby-sitter, the perfect student job!
Do you like taking care of children? Do you have a good level in English? You could become a babysitter or a language teacher! As a student, you will be able to benefit from a lot of advantages, to face (expensive) life in France.
Advantages of being a student in France
Be aware that being a student in France offers you several advantages:
- Holidays: free time to enjoy and carry out your activities,
- A good salary if you get a student job,
- Several aids (CAF for accommodation, imagine R card for transport, etc.) as well as discounts (cinema space, fast food, etc.),
- You can connect with people through and events.

If you become a babysitter or language teacher, you will develop several skills!
Creativity, patience (yes, very important!), your ability to solve everyday issues, communication, your sense of organization and sens of responsibilities. Working as a babysitter is not just watching children: you help them to become young adults, making them learning new knowledge while having fun!
If you choose to become a language teacher, this will be an opportunity to share your culture of origin with your students, and pass on knowledge that will help them both in their personal and professional lives. On your side, you will become more rigorous and pedagogue. This course will help you to better understand your interlocutors in your future working life.
