In recent years, the personal assistance services sector has exploded in the economic market. A large number of companies have emerged in this field, offering services at attractive prices to ease the daily lives of all individuals.
Many jobs have been created in the personal assistance services sector. One advantage is that they are accessible to individuals without qualifications as long as they are over 18 years old. Already in 2006, this sector accounted for 20% of the jobs created in France.
Today, it is possible to get help for almost anything. Employees of companies and associations providing personal assistance can do the cleaning, ironing, and even gardening for you. Many also offer childcare, often at home. Less commonly, associations offer a pet care service (also called “dog-sitting”) so you can go on vacation with peace of mind, or simply so your pets are not alone when you are at the office.
These services are available to dependent individuals, such as the elderly or disabled who are no longer able to perform daily life tasks.
But also to active people of all ages who need help when they are working or simply away from home, for example for childcare.
The O² site offers one of the most original services: “holiday like in a hotel”, a hotel service that takes care of everything during your vacation at your location. This includes cleaning, meal preparation, and shopping… A system is also in place to take care of your children, even in the presence of parents. All that’s left for you is to enjoy a real holiday without the everyday hassles.
Famille & Logi’Services goes further and offers parental coaching, available only in Nice. It is a support program for parents to teach them “how to handle special situations encountered during the education of their children or teenagers”. All this in order to maintain a certain “family balance” within the home. The company assures that the “coach” has more than ten years of experience and holds a state diploma in specialized education.
Most services are priced around 10 euros, often less and this varies depending on the company or association.
The only downside, undeclared work tends to surpass these companies by offering the same services for cheaper. In the face of this and the associations, companies today represent less than 5% of the market.
