French speaking Nanny needed

Hello, I am finding it really difficult to find a french speaking nanny who is actually interested in being a nanny because they genuinely love children and not just for the money.

I have a 4 nearly 5 year old and am pregnant now due to give birth in a months time. I was looking for a reliable, friendly, happy English but French speaking nanny who would want to grow with our family. She/he would only work 5 days a week Monday - Friday but occasionly might be a Saturday but would then gain a day in lieu. Competitive rates and travel expenses covered. We live in Loughton so prepared to travel there.

Please let me know if anyone knows anyone or any good agencies they can recommend. So far we have had a nightmare trying to find someone who just likes children so any recommendations would be great.
thank you

There are various agencies in London who place bilingual nannies/those speaking a foreign language. Little Ones London, Pearl childcare, Royal nannies and Nannies Inc (they have a Paris branch) are all agencies I've registered with as a French speaking nanny in the past.

Do you require the nanny to speak French to your DC or just be able to understand and support bilingualism? If you want them to speak French have you considered looking fir a French nanny in Ici Londres or similar, posting on Gumtree and Nannyjob, greatcare, bestbear, childcare.co.Uk etc.
