Personal Assistant · International Families
A personal assistant
for your family in France.
Book & Smile is the personal assistant international families rely on in Paris and across France: one trusted bilingual person who runs the school file, the healthcare file, the household and the children's calendar — so your family arrives settled and stays that way.
A family's life in France runs on files: the school campaign, CPAM registration, the household, activities, appointments, the syndic — all in French, all with deadlines.
One parent usually absorbs it all. Their weeks disappear into administration and coordination, and the family's first year is spent managing France instead of living in it.
What if one trusted person carried the family's entire file?
What we handle for families
- The school file — applications, translated records, interviews scheduled, follow-ups done
- The healthcare file — CPAM registration, mutuelle, English-speaking doctors and paediatric contacts secured
- The household — utilities, insurance, staff engaged legally, contractors vetted before the first leak
- Children's lives — activities, tutors, birthdays, camps, transport arranged and confirmed
- The family calendar — appointments, renewals and deadlines tracked so nothing lapses
- Everyday requests — reservations, errands, sourcing, gifts — one message, handled

FAQ
Do you work in English?
Entirely. Native French, fluent English — your family communicates in English; France is handled in French.
Can you manage the school application process?
Yes. We run the file end to end: target list, translated documents, interview scheduling, follow-ups — you attend the interviews, we handle everything around them.
How does the engagement work?
One-off assistance for a single file, or a monthly membership (Essential, Executive, Private Office) for ongoing family support. Terms are defined in a private consultation. NDA on request.
Do you cover families outside Paris?
Yes — we assist international families across France, with the same single point of contact and written confirmations.
