As a busy mom, my kids' homework has always been a daily challenge—especially those tense Sunday afternoons when assignments pile up undone. After countless frustrations and chats with other parents, I found a game-changing solution: hiring a student helper for after-school support.
Hiring someone to assist with homework and supervise after school is ideal. It eases my stress during those tricky moments and gives my children tailored help from a student who gets it.
This approach is even better thanks to government support for home employment. Since 2006, the Chèque Emploi Service Universel (CESU) has made it simple for families to hire help legally. Follow the guide to get started!
CESU is a secure way to pay your in-home employee in full compliance with labor laws. It ensures proper declaration of worked hours for childcare or homework assistance, protecting both you and your helper.
Sign up at www.cesu.urssaf.fr to receive a checkbook with a social declaration section. Fill it out, send it back, and the Centre National du Chèque Emploi Service handles all admin:
Best of all, I qualify for a 50% tax credit on expenses (salary plus contributions). No need to crunch numbers—the tax certificate is ready in my URSSAF personal space online.
All formalities are handled online, saving time and ensuring accuracy with step-by-step guidance—perfect for always-on-the-go parents like me.
