According to a recent study, in March 2020 the British newspaper The Economist placed the French capital as 4th among cities where the cost of living is the most expensive in the world. 

This is why, every year, students living in Paris are obliged to find a part-time job in order to pay for their studies, their accommodation etc.  

Don’t worry 🙂

Paris offers a large choice of opportunities in a fun, young and dynamic atmosphere. And so, it is important to combine business and pleasure by taking a position made for you.  This is why we have compiled the TOP 10 part-time jobs in Paris for you.

• Babysitter 

Who didn’t pretend to be a babysitter when they were younger?

Babysitting is the perfect job to combine studies and money. Your role is to pick up one or more children from school at the end of the day, give them snacks, play with them, help them with their schoolwork and often cook them dinner. 

It’s good training to become a mother or father (laughs). 

If you are looking for a babysitting job in Paris, our childcare agency is always recruiting English-speaking babysitters for school outings. The advantage of working with us is being part of a team of international, enthusiastic and committed babysitters who like to play and have fun.

• Pet-sitter 

If you love pets, pet-sitting is a great way to make some money. It consists of visiting the homes of people who are away for a while to feed, walk (if it’s a dog) and have fun with their pet.  

• Seller

From bakeries through to charity shops and pharmacies, sales jobs are more and more popular with students. The best part is that they don’t require a long list of experience and the schedules are flexible. However, you must have a dynamic and cheerful face.

• Host or hostess

Hospitality businesses very often hire students on temporary contracts with one-off assignments. Your role is to welcome, in person or on the phone. The required qualities are excellent presentation, perfect speech, fluency in English and a smile. With COVID, most companies are looking for people who could perform teleworking jobs. 

• Disneyland

Disneyland Paris offers students jobs adapted to their training and availability. 

They benefit from a ‘customised’ contract: the ‘permanent 16hr week-end contract” which is 8hrs on Saturdays and 8hrs on Sundays (busy days) in sales jobs (ticket offices, shops etc), hospitality (particularly in attractions), restaurants, hotels etc. Around 400 permanent 16hr contracts are signed each year. 

• Blogger 

Do you love writing, social media and the internet ? 

In the era of digital and remote working, many development opportunities exist in this market. You can work independently or on behalf of someone else. You’ll be rewarded for all of this through advertising.

• Hotel receptionist 

The hotel industry recruits people on a part-time basis. You welcome visitors to the hotel both in person and via telephone, as well as manage reservations and emails. 

• Museum guide 

You will enjoy working in a museum for many reasons: the hours which adapt to your schedule, working conditions which do not require physical effort – apart from paying attention to the safety of the works during public visits. 

• Flyer distribution 

You will be responsible for distributing flyers to passers-by. This can take place almost anywhere, large shopping areas, near public transport, at the exit of a school or a university. This will be decided by your employer. 

• COVID-19 health ambassadors

In the context of the COVID-19 epidemic, students should be made aware of how to correctly perform protective measures. As part of the implementation of its health policy, some universities are recruiting teams of student health ambassadors to carry out this mission of raising awareness among students on its various campuses. For example, at the University Paris-Est Créteil (see the site to apply).
