Details

  Description

  We are a family of 4. A girl of 10 years old and a boy of 7.
  We live central Montreal, in a beautiful and lively neighbourhood. We are located at 2 minutes of a subway, easy to use public transport around.
  We both works 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, my husband works in a office and I work 2-3 times a week from home (tele-working).
  We offer you accommodation in exchange of helping at home after and before school. Playing with the children, taking the children out for activities, helping in the kitchen, cooking meals, doing grocery and little cleaning.
  I have room for one helper. We have a room with a double bed in our basement with a private bathroom.
  I am looking for someone to join and be a part of my family.
  I would like my kids to learn English.
  
  On Weekends we are going often to our chalet/holiday house in Saitn-Donat area.
  We are doing many activities out there like mountain biking, hiking, boat, paddle board, swimming in the lake. During winter, we are doing ski at Garceau ski resort and we do cross-crountry skiing, skate and sliding.
  
  We like to discover other culture and to learn about other countries.
  We mostly speak french at home because the kids only speak french, but we can communicate in English easily.
  
  If you like kids and you want to discover Montreal area, you are welcome in our beautiful house.
