In addition to the content-filled Recommendations Info Space and online newsletter where Frenchparents members can exchange tips and advice, Frenchparents.org offers services accessible to non-members, free or for a fee.
This Services area is still being finalized as we seek to gather more human and financial resources. See Supporting Frenchparents for more on this.

Active Services are: :

• Local Want ads and Announcements :

  Want to find or offer your services as a French speaking nanny, tutor or want to trade houses between California and Paris, or announce a French language play or playgroup?

  Post a Want ad or Announcement. Ads and posting are planned to be viewable on the site soon. Right now they appear in a biweekly newsletter.

• Op Eds and Experts' Columns:

  The Op Eds offer a perspective on life here as a parent of French background and as a non technical (really?) professional, sometimes in French, others in English.

  The Experts' Columns being developped are a place where real estate and personal finance professionals knowledgeable about France or the Bay Area as well as doctors, legal experts and psychologists provide advice to you as a parent in the US with an interest and a link to the French culture.

  Read Experts' Columns (in English)

  Experts, your short pieces on the topics mentioned above are welcome, in French and in English. Contact us.

Services being finalized:
