  Description

  Hello! We are a family of five: Damien, Maeva, and our three boys, Soan (born in 2013), Teis (born in 2015), and Eben (born in 2017). We live in a nice little town called Besançon, with a population of about 100,000. The town is surrounded by nature, offering outdoor activities such as hiking, swimming, and skiing (not far away). There are also other things to do such as shopping, going to concerts, and visiting museums. Also, there is a beautiful citadel that you can explore.
  
  The children attend school full-time, and their schedule varies depending on the day. It would be nice to have someone to pick them up from school and take our 12-year-old dog, Hurka, for walks. The house is big, so it requires some time to keep it tidy. DIY ideas are also welcome...
  Salut! Nous sommes une famille de 5, Damien et Maeva, et nos trois garçons Soan 7 ans et Teis 5 ans et Eben 3 ans. Nous vivons dans une jolie petite ville, Besançon (100 000 habitants), entourée par les rivières et la nature! Il y a pas mal d'activités à faire ici, nature, randonnées, baignades, ski pas très loin, mais aussi les avantages d'une ville, shoping, sorties, culture la ville a une jolie citadelle qui se visite)
  Les enfants vont a l'école mais jai besoin de quelqu'un sur les temps périscolaire et les allers retours écoles...et promener notre chienne hurka qui a maintenant 11 ans mais qui adore toujours les ballades...
  La maison est grande et le j'attends nécessite un peu de temps pour le garder agréable aussi! Les idées des bricoleurs sont les bienvenues...

  Help

  Most of all we need help looking after the kids when they're not in school and when I'm working, that's 3 or 4 hours a day about 3 times a week. We also have a dog who loves forest walks. The goal being to share our daily life, it may be asked to participate in the preparation of meals, help with the household ... but nothing fixed, you are part of a family where we share all the tasks!
  
  Nous avons surtout besoin d'aide pour garder les enfants quand ils ne sont pas à l'ecole et quand je travaille, cela represente 3 ou 4 heures par jour 3 fois par semaine environ. Nous avons aussi une chienne qui adore les ballades en fôret. Le but étant de partager notre quotidien, il peut être demandé de participer à la confection des repas, aider pour le ménage... mais rien de fixe, vous faites partie d'une famille où on se partage tous les tâches!
