Who this guide is for

Section actions
  • Parents who chose a nanny rather than a crèche
  • Active parents in need of flexibility on schedules
  • Families in an area without a place available in crèche

To be prepared in advance

Section actions
  • Approval of current nanny, with date and number of children allowed
  • Your schedules and those of the nanny: welcome, meals, holidays, end of contract
  • Your CAF and Pajemploi identifiers if you request the CMG

Step-by-step procedure

Section actions
  1. 1Find an accredited kindergarten assistant via the town hall, the RPE (early childhood relay) or my child.fr. You will soon see who works near you.
  2. 2Check approval: date of validity, number of children allowed and possible restrictions. Ask for references, too.
  3. 3Sign the hosting contract. Without a contract, custody is not set and the CMG does not follow.
  4. 4If you are entitled to the CMG, Pajemploi automatically activates. You declare the salary and the hours there each month.
  5. 5Keep the amounts consistent from month to month: the URSSAF calculates the contributions, and the CAF follows your help.
  6. 6If the license changes or disappears, the contract must be stopped and another custody solution must be sought.

Common mistakes

Section actions
  • Trust an "approximately" approval without checking the date.
  • Start custody without a reception contract.
  • Forget the monthly report in Pajemploi and lose the CMG.

Important remark

Family benefits and school rules depend on resources, the composition of the household and the department. This information is general; check your rights with the CAF, the town hall and the school.
