Professional administrative assistance & English-French translation

“Hello, I’m Phoebe, founder of the Busy Bee.

Born and raised in Méribel, in the heart of the French Alps, I grew up fully immersed in both French and British cultures. This bilingual, bicultural background has become my greatest strength:
I understand the complexities of French administration just as clearly as I understand Anglophones expectations for clarity, efficiency, and straightforward communication.

I help individuals and small businesses navigate French bureaucracy with confidence, translating not only the language, but also the mindset, processes, and cultural nuances behind it.

My passion for service, languages and business development led me to study business management and marketing followed by a degree in real estate transactions and property management, giving me strong foundations in administrative and legal procedures. I later worked for a leading international accounting firm, supporting clients with their daily legal admin and translation needs.

Today, I combine deep knowledge of French systems with an intuitive understanding of my international clients needs to offer reliable, personalised support that removes stress, saves time, and makes life in France easier.”
