    Hi ! We are a family of 4 (well, sometimes 6, sometimes two or one :) and we would be so happy to get a hand from you !

    We have plenty of projects amongst which our house becoming be an open place for intergenerational, artistic, holistic exchanges, music jams and concerts, dance floor, yoga meetings, world food discovery, sharing moments of all kinds !

    We still have a lot of houseworks (plumbery, electricity, paintings, etc.), many extra things to sort, give away and recycle, we need help to grow vegetables and arrange the garden, we have one pipo house that could be renovated and projects to carry on (build a wooden hut, dry toilets, etc... ).

    I am sometimes organizing workshops with teenagers and kids but also adults around languages through music, arts, food, theatre, dance...

    Helping us in our everyday tasks is what we await from you :) ! We would thus like to get a help in cleaning, cooking, tidying up + helping us in some works (as previously said).
    Plus my boys are 15, 15 and 18 and helping them with homeworks (math, sciences, languages), taking them to sport, playing games, sharing life experience, biking, practising languages with them would be really appreciated !

    I love cooking, playing djembe, hand pan, guitar, singing, dancing, drawing, hosting friends, travelling... I am a salsa lover and use meditation and relaxation in my everyday life to be able to keep on :) I am also willing to adopt more and more the "no waste way of life" and would love to learn about your culinary specialties ! included vegan of vegetarian plates to broaden our way of eating :) and my man is an incredible that can bring life wherever he puts his hands !

    I am eager to use energitic approaches to cure ourselves and we are willing to learn massage techniques, improving ourselves all the time, etc.

    I speak a lot of languages (French, English, Spanish, Italien, Dutch, Russian + many words of other languages), can help you learning any of those and we are involved in the transition aiming at making this world a better place for all !

    Plus we have like 80 musical instruments to play with and enjoy and I can iniate you to salsa/merengue/bachata if it pleases you :)

    We live in a quite big house and can arrange to accomodate you in one of our external premices but also inside when all kids are not there and as far as you agree to share our family life with noise and stress sometimes...

    What I would really like to ask you is that once you enter our house and family, please bring some plants, spices and/or musical instruments from your place !! I am ready to pay you for those ! Let's talk about this when getting to know each other :)

    You are thus welcome ! Feel free to contact me for any further details...
