Description
Hello, we are a family of 4 people : François, Hélène, Thomas and Timéo. We are looking for welcoming a person to share our life and help us taking care of our children, mainly. They are 2 lovely boys of 11 and 7 years old. We live in the north of Paris suburb (45min by train), in a really nice and historical city called L'Isle-Adam, rounded by a great forest and on riverside. We live in a nice house with a big garden. We have a horse. We like good food, sports (horse riding, biking, walking, skiing...), music, cinema...
Bonjour, nous sommes une famille de 4 personnes : François, Hélène, Thomas et Timéo. Nous souhaitons accueillir quelqu'un pour partager notre vie et nous aider dans la garde des enfants principalement. Ce sont 2 adorables garçons de 11 et 7 ans. Nous vivons dans la banlieue nord de Paris (45min en train), dans une jolie cité historique appelée L'Isle-Adam, entourée d'une grande forêt et située en bord de rivière. Nous habitons dans une jolie maison avec un grand jardin. Nous avons un cheval. Nous aimons la bonne nourriture, le sport (équitation, vélo, marche, ski...), la musique, le cinéma...Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practiceBabysitting and creative playCreating/ Cooking family mealsHelp around the houseCultural exchange and learning opportunities
Languages are very important in our lives. We speak English at work, we both learned German at school, we know a little bit of Italian. We wish to offer to our children the opportunity to learn different languages (English would be the best, but other languages would be ok).
We can help our guest to improve his/her French speaking, our guest could discover one of the nicest parts of Paris region, called "le Vexin". We have family all around in France and we like travelling, so our guest could come with us and discover other beautiful regions of France.
Les langues sont très importantes dans notre vie. Nous parlons Anglais au travail, nous avons également appris tous les deux l'Allemand, et connaissons un peu l'Italien. Et nous souhaiterions aussi que nos enfants puissent pratiquer des langues (l'anglais serait idéal, mais d'autres langues peuvent aussi être intéressantes).
Nous pouvons aider notre invité(e) à améliorer sa pratique du français, découvrir une des plus belles régions de l'Ile de France (le Vexin). Nous avons de la famille un peu partout en France et nous aimons voyager, donc notre invité(e) pourrait venir avec nous découvrir d'autres belles régions de France.Projects involving children

Help
We are looking for someone to help us taking care of our youngest child: take him at school, do his homework (if possible), take care of him when we are absent. In case of need, the child can stay at school after school, or he can go to his grand parents' house, but we are wanting that our children create a link with someone they could see everyday, in order to ensure them a good life balance. The guest will need to speak French to communicate with the children.
An idea of your planning :
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: take the child at school at 4:30 pm and take care of him until we come back from work (around 7 pm).
Wednesday: take care of the child from around 8 am to 7 pm
Week-ends and holidays:
- if you wish you can participate with us to activities and help us with the children,
- sometimes take care of the children if we leave the house to do sport
- baby-sitting during the evening (approximatively once a month).
The rest of the time, we will ask you to help with the house cleaning and laundry if you are ok (paid apart).Languages
