Description
Hi there,
We are an anglo-french family with one daughter Lola (11 yrs) and Cookie (our cat) based in Villefranche-sur-Mer (5 minutes from Nice).
We are both very busy with our work and we need help in the house and our bio garden.
We love english speakers as although Lola's english is pretty good we'd love help to get it to the next level.
If you have some skills with social media skills that could also help us.
We have a small stone cottage (loo, shower, kitchenette, four poster double bed, TV and wifi) in the garden (see pictures) over looking the sea for you to stay in. We are just 3 minutes from bus stop to Nice / Monaco and 5 minutes walk to the beach.
If you are interested in helping us we would love to talk.
