Description
I grew up Montréal, Canada and I've been living in the Yukon Territory in the great Canadian North for nearly 3 years. I'm blessed to have such a marvelous place to live in.
I'm a physical education teacher. I also worked as an elementary school teacher and in French Immersion programs. I'm specialized in outdoor education. I also have an adventure tourism formation, so yes, I love outdoor. I'm always gone for an adventure during my days off.
I cook a lot and I love it.. Any sh@#ty day can be forgiven with a good meal! I especially like to explore different ethnical cuisines.
I'm always ready to help, I can take physical work and I like challenges.
I have been working with children for while now, in summer camp, with orphans, as a coach and as a teacher.
I'm very open minded and easy going. I love to discover new ways. I grew up in a very multicultural environment and I love exploring different cultures.
It's always nice to meet new people. I'm "energyfull"!
PS: I eat gluten free and I'll provide any gluten free personal food like bread, pasta, desert, etc... if needed. Being gluten free helped me work on my cooking skills ;)

Xavier, my fourth son. Ha ha. Xavier is an exceptional person, an adult with an amazing way of connecting with children. Xavier stayed with us for about 10 days. While he was here, our family was having a busy work time so Xavier spent a lot of time with the children and helping us out with things that weren't really planned. He became an adult… read more

Xavier only stayed with us a short while (in between placements) but we definitely wish we'd had more time! He was wonderful with the children, very engaging and excellent at leading them in an activity, (even our shy child would follow him everywhere!) He's a natural teacher, sprinkling education (such as new French words) easily into play.… read more

I stayed 2 weeks and I wish I could have stayed longer. Beyond the nice place they have, closed to so many hidden wonders of France, the whole family is so awesome. These guys took my trip to the next level. I had so much deep and nice conversations with David along with so many little good moments here and there. Laetitia has such a great heart.… read more
