  Beschreibung

  In end Sept. 2024, I moved to a nice 4-room apartment located 400m from the sea, in the Cros de Cagnes area. It is new (it had never been lived in before me) and although I have done a lot of work on the development, there is still to do.
  It has a big balcony (16m2) on the 2nd floor, accessible by elevator.
  
  We can see the sea from the balcony.
  
  It is located near all shops and public transport. I have bikes I can lend for daily trips.
  
  I need someone to help me and/or my aspie son (Julien, 19yo) to an undefined end date.
  I am very busy working full-time while taking care of my son and my older sister, who is going through a very difficult period in her life (divorce from a very toxic person). Although I manage on a daily basis, I would need some help to free up a little time: the workawayer would help with shopping and everyday cooking; also, if he/she is handy, we can do some DIY together..
  
  Also, if you think you have the skills for it, the workawayer could help my aspie son socializing.
  With his autism, it is very difficult, if not impossible, for him to approach others, and the idea would be to help him in this regard, i.e.,
  - Go shopping with him with the hope that he'll eventually do it on his own
  - Help him connect with others, both in and outside of his activities
  - Take swimming lessons with him (which I pay for) to build a bond between you.
  Note that he has no mental disabilities, he is fully autonomous in his daily life (going to the uni/swimming pool, eating, cooking basic stuff, washing himself, etc).
  With few exceptions, he stays at my place from Friday afternoon to Sunday evening every week.Ideally, the workawayer will be with us during this period (at least 2 out of 3 days) and more available on other days.
  
  In order to get along with both of us of us, the person must have important human qualities, among them : empathy, patience, altruism.

  A little bit about me and my family
  
  I've got 2 kids: my daughter Émilie is 22yo and after a degree in law has decided to take a gap year before getting back to the university to learn psychology and my son Julien is 19.
  Émilie is bilingual French/English as she spent more than 1 year in the UK and 1.5 months in Australia totally immersed in families, also she obtained an International Baccalaureate (OIB) in 2021 and a degree in law in Spring 2024.
  Julien has Asperger's syndrome, level 1, i.e., mild, but he is very comfortable with the people he knows. He entered the History College in Sept. 2024.
  
  My mother was Spanish, and traveling is part of my DNA. We all love traveling and meeting new people.
  
  Family and friendship are an important parts of my life. I'm doing my best to maintain good relationships with my relatives and also like to meet new people. Exchanging, sharing, discovering, learning, and understanding are essential for me. I find my balance between work (as R&D engineer), family and friends, sports, and music. Initially more of a musician than a sportswoman (I play the piano and the oboe), sports have become more important in my life in the last few years: I love to swim, I run regularly and above all I travel almost exclusively by bike. I am very sensitive to ecology at all levels and do my best to protect the planet and my loved ones.
  
  I like to cook but have little time for it so I usually prepare simple organic meals.
  
  I don't smoke and smoking is not allowed in the apartment nor the balcony.

  Arbeit

  I am looking for someone who can help me shop and prepare some meals. Also if you can help my aspie son him with his socialization that would be great.

  Dieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
  I have been attracted to languages since my childhood and enjoy helping foreigners to improve their French. I have hosted my daughter two English exchange partners for 6 months each, and I have also hosted a Mexican au pair for 10 months as well as Emilie's Australian correspondent for 6 weeks. I helped all of them improve their French.
