Babysitter in Paris

She agreed to look after one child.
There were five.
For Emilia, babysitting is supposed to be a temporary job - something to fit between medical lectures, exams, rent, and an uncertain future in Paris.
Instead, every new door opens into a different universe.
A musical family where silence is impossible. A townhouse full of children no one remembered to mention. Parents who monitor every minute. Fathers who improvise their way through dinner. Teenagers with secrets. Toddlers with unshakable logic. And an eighty-five-year-old grandmother armed with homemade tinctures, frozen plantain leaves, emergency food supplies, and the absolute certainty that everyone else is doing life incorrectly.
Between Parisian apartments, crowded metro rides, sleepless nights, burnt dinners, family arguments, and chaotic journeys through Italy and Spain, Emilia learns that caring for children also means entering the private worlds of the adults raising them.
What begins as an ordinary student job becomes a funny, unpredictable, and deeply human journey through cultural differences, ambition, responsibility, attachment, and goodbye.
Babysitter is a warm contemporary novel about the families we meet temporarily, the people we remember forever, and the unexpected places that begin to feel like home.
Sometimes, to find your own place in the world, you first have to spend time in many other people's homes.
