Philosophy

For our childcare services, we hire university students; young women who are no longer students but who are looking for work as well as young nannies who are in France on a “Working Holiday” visa.

For our housekeeping services, we hire experienced domestic workers who are entirely dedicated to housekeeping for our valued customers.

Screening Process

Only the best nannies are invited to join our team. Our rigorous selection process ensures that all our nannies and babysitters maintain the highest quality of professionalism and that they continue to exceed the expectations of our client families.

The following steps describe the process that all applicants must complete when applying for a position with Family Space. After each step in the process, the candidate is re-evaluated before being invited to continue to the next step.
