  Description

  Routine is definitely not part of our day to day life! I run my own company from home while Jean-Philippe can be called to work as firefighter at anytime, 24/7. This didn’t prevent us to found our family : we now have three little ones to share with our curiosity and love of life.
  
  Bromont is very well located : it is one hour by car or by bus from Montréal and Sherbrooke. If you enjoy nature, bike, horseback riding or running, you’ll like to access to more than 100km of multifunctional trails right from our place. There is always something to do nearby : paddle board, water slides, mountain bike, golf, spa, many free music shows and much more!
  
  If you can drive (or if you really enjoy bike!), you have access within 30 km to the Granby Zoo, the wine road, outdoor cinema, ect.
  
  We have a cat and are non smokers. We enjoy improvised parties with our friends and their kids; we are very inclusive.
  
  Good to know: our mother tongue is French, so our daily life is in this language.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We already welcomed travelers from France, Belgium, Italy, Australia and United States and what they liked the most was how we included them in our day to day life, inviting them to join us to eat, to get out on special activities, introducing them to other of our friends, help them to visit our place as locals do, ect.
  
  We visited many countries such as France, Costa Rica, Panama, Mexico, Guatemala, Brasil, Thaïland, Vietnam.
  
  We are generous of our time and tips and curious about other cultures.
  
  It can only be rewarding!

  Help

  As I work from home, I am present, but I really need to focus few hours a day and to do so, I appreciate help to take care of the kids (5, 9 and 11 years old in 2022) You definitely must have experience in this area!
  
  During the summer, you can expect to start your day by cooking a lunch for the kids and entertain them for the afternoon. Your help would also be useful to carry the childrens to their activities, so you need to have a valid driver license. In addition, because we have a swimming pool, you must know how to swim : )
  
  During school time, your help will be appreciated from about 2 pm to 6 pm, from Monday through Thursday to garden or do basic household, prepare the diner, manage kid’s homework and lunch boxes.
