Paris is a city of culture, refinement and exacting standards. For high-net-worth, UHNW and international families, those standards naturally extend to childcare, education, household harmony and the privacy of family life.
Superstar Nannies is a premier nanny agency serving families in Paris and the wider Île-de-France region. We place exceptional nannies, maternity nurses and childcare professionals with the discretion, expertise and personal attention families expect.
Our nanny agency Paris service is designed for households seeking a carefully matched professional, not a generic shortlist.
You may be an established family in the 7th arrondissement, an American household settling into life in Paris, or an international family needing an English-speaking nanny to support school routines, language development, and daily life. Our consultants listen first, then begin a focused search for the right match.
Finding the right nanny in Paris is a deeply personal decision. The person you welcome into your family’s home may support your children during school runs, nursery transitions, travel, homework, mealtimes, bedtime routines and the quieter moments that shape a child’s well-being.
At Superstar Nannies, we do not believe in rushed placements. We take time to understand your household, your children’s personalities, the languages spoken at home, your working hours and the level of structure you want the nanny to bring.
A family with two children at different schools may need a very different profile from a family with three children, a newborn care requirement, or a rota schedule involving regular travel.
Only once we understand your expectations do we introduce suitable candidates. Our agency considers experience, character, communication style, training, references and suitability for private household life. Families return to us because we help them find a nanny who fits the rhythm of their home, not only the basic job description.
A placement should feel considered. It should give parents confidence, help children feel secure and allow the household to run calmly.
Maternity Nurses and Newborn Care for New Parents in Paris
The weeks after the birth of a baby are precious, demanding and often unpredictable. Our maternity nurses and newborn care specialists provide practical newborn care and calm guidance during this early stage, helping with feeding support, sleep routines, settling, overnight care and the daily rhythm of life with a new baby.
We typically recommend starting your search for a maternity nurse before your due date, so you have time to consider available nannies and maternity nurses carefully.
Some families need support for their first child. Others are welcoming a new baby while caring for two or three children already in the home. The right professional can assist parents, protect rest where possible and help the wider household adjust.
Our Paris nannies support a wide range of households, including French, international, and expat families, as well as private households with frequent travel. Some families want a nanny who can assist with school preparation and academic tutoring. Others need a calm childcare professional who can manage play, nursery routines, healthy meals, bath time and structured activities.
A high-quality nanny may also help children navigate Parisian life with confidence. This can include understanding expectations at French and international schools, organising local activities, supporting friendships and keeping routines steady during busy weeks. In neighbourhoods such as Neuilly-sur-Seine, Saint-Germain-des-Prés and Saint-Germain-en-Laye, many families need childcare that works alongside demanding professional lives and selective school schedules.
For households that travel between Paris, London, Dubai, Geneva, New York, the French Riviera or the French Alps, we can discuss profiles with travel experience. A travel nanny must be adaptable, discreet and able to maintain stability for children away from home.
The safety of your children is never a matter of compromise. Every candidate we place with a Paris family has passed a thorough vetting process, including criminal record checks, reference checks, reference verification, qualification checks where relevant and a review of employment history.
Our consultants interview candidates in depth. We assess childcare experience, technical skills, judgement, communication, reliability, discretion, and the ability to work in a private household. We also consider how a nanny responds to real-life family situations, such as changes in school hours, travel delays, sibling dynamics, and the need to maintain boundaries while building warm relationships with children.
For families employing a nanny in France, legal compliance matters. French labour law can affect contracts, working hours, weekly hours, social security responsibilities, and payroll administration. Superstar Nannies does not replace professional legal or payroll advice, but our team can help families understand the practical questions to raise before finalising a placement.
Our consultants bring extensive experience in high-profile nanny agency searches, Paris family life, and the expectations of private clients. Every search is handled with discretion. That is essential for a well-known family, a high-profile household or any family seeking privacy while making a sensitive childcare decision.
We work closely with clients throughout the placement process. After your request, we discuss the role, preferred schedule, languages, duties, start date, travel needs and household structure. We then begin identifying candidates who may be a good fit for the post. Shortlisted profiles are introduced for review, and interviews are arranged once you feel confident about the options.
Some agencies operate as mandataire services where families become the direct employer and manage payroll, contracts and statutory obligations. The precise arrangement should always be understood before a nanny starts work. Parents may also wish to check if an agency or service is officially recognised for any financial aid or tax credit purposes in France, as eligibility can vary and should be confirmed independently.
Salary guidance: Live-in nannies in Paris: €3,500 to €5,500+ net per month. Live-out nannies in Paris: €4,000 to €6,500+ net per month.
If you are ready to begin hiring a nanny in Paris, our team will guide you through the search with care and discretion. You can contact us with an outline of your family, the number and ages of your children, your preferred working hours, required languages, expected duties, travel needs, and the type of personality that works best in your home.
The next step is a confidential conversation. We will advise on the type of nanny most suited to your household, explain the placement process and begin considering suitable candidates. If a live-in nanny is not practical, we may discuss a live-out or rota arrangement. If your main need is newborn care, maternity nurses may be the more appropriate option.
Our role is to assist you in making a confident decision. We help you compare candidates, understand differences in experience and select a professional who can support your family’s daily life in Paris.

High-profile and well-known families often use a discreet specialist nanny agency that can manage confidential searches, vet candidates carefully and introduce professionals suited to private household life. Superstar Nannies supports Paris families who require discretion, quality and a considered matching process.
An au pair may cost less than a professional nanny, but the role is different. Au pairs are usually suited to lighter cultural exchange and family support. At the same time,e a professional nanny is more appropriate for structured childcare, sole-charge care, demanding schedules, newborn care or specialist experience.
In everyday French, a nanny may be called a “nounou”. Depending on the arrangement, families may also hear terms such as “garde d’enfants” or “assistante maternelle”. For a private household role, it is best to describe the duties, hours, and level of responsibility clearly rather than rely on a single title.
