    Description

    Bonjour,
    Hello

    PLEASE READ THE WHOLE DESCRIPTION AND MAKE SURE YOU MATCH THE CONDITIONS BEFORE APPLYING. THANKS!
    Also please do not write chain mails, personalize it to the host you are writing to.

    WE SEARCH

    Someone to help us with elderly physical activities (walks, simple gym and exercises), with cooking lunch and light cleaning of the apartment.

    My mother is in perfect health, but needs to do some more physical activities. The work involves a few hours per day. You will have time to work online part-time or study. Some simple cooking and light cleaning involved. Some basic conversational French is needed to communicate though.

    WE OFFER

    Food and accommodation, French language learning, yoga, sports and cultural exchange of course. I am a certified French/English language teacher and I also teach yoga, gym, acrobatics and therapeutics. Will be glad to share my skills with you.

    You will have your own room, large and cozy with a balcony, direct access to the bathroom, and the use of the whole apartment. You will have a key of the apartment.

    We do not have WiFi, but we can lend you a sim card with the 4G. Otherwise, it is easy to acquire a local phone number.

    I wrote a complete guide of the house and surroundings, FAQs that I share with the volunteer before arrival.

    LOCATION

    The apartment is ancient and large, also near the train station Cornavin, city center, in a historical building, room and board included for one male guest only. We only ask to switch off electricity when not used, save water and gas, recycle as much as possible. Shops, parks and commodities are all nearby. There is a extra bicycle with a helmet and lock.

    FINALLY

    We are international, friendly, open-minded, respectful and trustworthy. We were working abroad before. We do not discriminate against race, sexual orientation or religion. We expect the same respectful attitude from the guests.
