=============
Help needed sept 2024 since Michaela from Sweden is currently living with us
BUT
i'd love to host german speaker in May-June as i need practice in the language ( 30 mn a day , no worry , i won't bother you too much )
AND, ideally
help with the vegetable garden as I broke my neck on my bike and currently have 3 cracked ribs !
=============
Sandrine ( 55) industrial/airport language trainer ( English/Spanish/French) and Myfanwy 18 and Neo family cat as well as 5 hens in the garden .
My son Ayden lives nearby in a flat with girlfriend Camille and Myfanwy is now iin Strasbourg for studies , back at weekends for laundry and chatting ..
Shayne, 33, from New Zealand , former workawayer, caught by covid lockdown since 2019 , works with me . He lives in Mulhouse with girlfriend Fred .
We live in a 4000 inhabitant town, 8 mn from Mulhouse, 30mn from Colmar, with shops, sport centre and a station, 20mn from the Vosges Mountains, Germany and Switzerland. 10 mn from the vineyard , we love walks there ... ( usually with a cake and tea )
We like music , cinema, live concerts and shows, sport,board games, Historic sites ,walks,cooking, embroidery, swimming,reading,live shows, history, cycling everywhere ( on flat ground , not really ready for Tour de France !) , DIY and crafts ,spending time in hammocks in the garden, (making tables and chairs with pallets ) and cooking fresh food,( off to the local market every saturday ), sustainable life and less polluting ( solar panels, using water from the roof for the garden and keeping biodiversity in the garden for the bees )
Vegetarians welcome , i don t eat meat on regular basis . Cheese is very present though . Eggs from the garden members …
Piano in the house, extra bikes in the garage ( don't think of driving to the local shops !) .
I m very keen on minimal use of electricity.
shopping and TV come at the bottom of the list .

Arbeit
Living with us and being a second adult in the house
Ensuring presence in the house , helping cooking and cleaning ( we clean together , not just you ) Joining activities during the week, helping with some if my weird diy projects, practicing sport , playing music, getting involved in local life .
We expect reactivity, INITIATIVE,MATURITY, creativity, enthusiasm and flexibility . Honest and straight forward ( i’ m too old for jealousy, hatred and hypocrisy )
Floppy, couch potato or not wanting to move , pls choose another profile !
Selfishness doesn t last long under my roof and team spirit gets rewarded !
Everyone understands English but we speak French in the house .
Lots of perks and free time if efficient .
We'll provide help for learning french, english or spanish, activities,concerts and events, walks, visits and sports.
non smoker pls ( we mean it )
Would appreciate minimum stay 2, up to 6 months if you want to participate to English training .
Our aim being to integrate you into local life and activities and make you visit France ,Switzerland and Germany since we're at a European corner . Also useful if you want to progress at languages .
While being with us , you can visit the places around and there are lots of things to do .
As we also volunteer in Nepali charity supporting schools in Nepal , your help would be appreciated during festivals or to help sorting craft, giving ideas for marketing, being present at markets ( one hour a month on average, but more activity around christmas markets in December) .
We're not looking for an employee , nor a hotel guest ! there is a medium in living family life and being committed with having freedom ( individualism and lack of empathy don't help much)
Reasonable use of internet/mobile phones appreciated.
If your idea of staying in a foreign country is to be hooked to your mobile or playing video games , pls consider other options .
We like watching films but try to educate kids to live with humans.
Ideally over 23 for car insurance reasons . if under 25 , maturity requested ( sorry , i have my own late teenager to deal with !)
We've had people staying with us since 2003 through various schemes or websites .
5 day trial period compulsory but once we love you , you'll be family member for life !
Interested ? Contact us
Or come for a weekend to see for yourself if you re close
not interested ? just let us know, a 'no' 's never scared us and it's nice to get an answer ...
