Where to start? So many different things going on here, something for most people (see below).......
I live in beautiful Normandy (town of Gacé) with my daughter Jasmine who is 10. We both speak English and French.
I have a busy schedule and need help with different aspects of life!!! I am looking for "helpers" who are willing to fit in with day to day "family life" as well as helping out.
1 - I work from home and from an office helping English people with settling into France, so I need some help at home while I work. This is mainly cleaning, cooking, tidying and babysitting. I have also just bought my house so have some "renovation" projects on going at the moment.
2- My mum lives in the street next to ours. She runs a dog grooming salon. The work here is mainly indoor jobs (sorting, cleaning etc).
Your help will depend on what you enjoy (and are good at) but also our plans and of course the weather.
I am looking for volunteers to help for a 4 week minimum stay through the summer but will consider shorter stays when appropriate.
I ask for 25h / week + help at mealtimes.
In return for your help, we supply accommodation, all your food, language help and various tours of the area.
Please email me for a whole load more info.
We have met some great people through Workaway and hope this will continue in 2022!!
