    CURRENTLY LOOKING - BUT only minimum 2 months stay and with driving license please. Thanks!
    - YOU WILL HELP out with the daily household routines (laundry, cooking, tidy up, play sports with kids), fool around and drive the kids to their activities, understand some French, be a non-smoker, and be a good driver :-)
    - YOU WILL GET a lot of help in French and English, hear music, get to eat and cook what you like, have a lot of free time while the kids are at school and after 9pm, be part of the family, live in a beautiful new villa with a large pool in the countryside, enjoy the sun and great walks or bike rides, have a good internet connection...

    We are a French family (also English-speaking) with 2 children (11 year old boy and 9 year old girl). We live in the beautiful and charming village of Cotignac in Provence in the South of France. We have a large villa with infinity pool in a safe area. Our kids go to the local school and speak French, but we also speak English.

    We are looking for an efficient extra pair of hands for the kids, taking care of our home and puppy dog, cooking and daily routine. You speak some French and can drive well with experience.

    We really enjoy meeting different cultures and exchanging with persons having diverse life projects, and appreciate having an extra hand with the day to day logistics and support with kids (playing, cooking, housekeeping). Help will be needed some mornings at 7am, on Wednesdays, and 4 days a week end afternoon around 4.30pm to pick up the kids at school, drive them to activities, play and study with them, prepare dinner and help putting things nicely in order.

    We have travelled extensively before having children and thus like multi-cultural environments and speak several foreign languages.

    --------------

    Nous sommes une famille avec 2 enfants (9 ans et 11 ans) et habitons dans la belle Provence, dans le village de Cotignac. Les enfants vont à l'école locale et nous parlons aussi anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais et danois :-)

    Nous aimons partager le quotidien avec une personne dynamique, qui prend des initiatives et sait nous aider à gérer la logistique des enfants, les repas et le quotidien de la maison. Nous avons besoin d'un coup de main efficace et indépendant pour les enfants, devoirs, jouer et les amener aux activités.

    La personne idéale comprend le français ou parle anglais, aime les enfants, est autorisée à conduire en Europe, aime cuisiner, et apprécie de garder une maison propre et bien rangée.

    Nous sommes une famille pleine de joie et de bonne humeur, et adorons la diversité, le sport et la musique! :-)
