Begin Your SearchBilingual Childcare & Language Development
A world-class bilingual nanny provides comprehensive childcare while naturally immersing your children in multiple languages. Through daily conversation, cultural activities, and authentic interaction, children develop genuine proficiency alongside excellent care. Language immersion through a meticulously vetted caregiver is one of the most effective approaches to bilingual development.
Benefits of Bilingual Childcare
Research demonstrates that children raised with bilingual exposure develop stronger cognitive abilities, enhanced executive function, and increased mental flexibility. Beyond academic advantages, bilingualism opens cultural horizons and creates genuine connection to family heritage and international communities.
A bilingual nanny provides consistent, daily language exposure in a natural, non-academic context. Children learn languages the way they naturally acquire them: through play, conversation, songs, stories, and real-world interaction with a trusted adult.

From Our Journal
The Lumière difference
Founded by a working career nanny, not a recruiter
"I founded Lumière because the families I worked for kept asking the same question: where do we find another nanny like you? I still take private placements. Every nanny I place is one I would work alongside."
Hanna founded Lumière Placements after years inside private households as a career nanny. She continues to take selected private placements alongside leading the agency, a working-nanny perspective that shapes every shortlist Lumière puts forward. Lumière is the only French Riviera-based boutique placement agency, placing across Monaco, Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, Cannes, Saint-Tropez and Nice, and worldwide, founded and led by an active working career nanny.
