Description
We live outside of a little town on the River Rhone in France, up on the hillside with stunning views. We have delightful three year old twin girls. We need help mainly with taking the girls for walks, playing with them, cooking healthy meals. Some light housework would be helpful. You'll have your own room with a single bed, We have a lovely older French house which we are renovating. The town of Tournon is right on the river Rhone with stunning views and walks in the heart of wine country and with an amazing chocolate factory with free samples! We speak both French and English having lived abroad and travelled. We speak English with the girls and would prefer you to do so too.

Help
Take the girls for a daily walk in nature to see the local horses and perhaps play at the playground. If you are musical that is a bonus as we are a musical family. Play with the girls, read to them and speak English for them to practice pronunciation. Cook a healthy lunch, we eat only fresh food mainly organic, some meat but no pork. Help will be 3-5 hours Monday to Friday mainly in the morning so you will have plenty of free time.
We do not use our smartphone in presence of the kids, especially during meals or while playing with them, and we are convinced that we will learn from you and enjoy our time a lot more if we can avoid our phones while sharing time together.
