    Get in touch with us if you are interested in staying with us for some time in September or later.

    I am looking for someone to help in the household and garden and maybe drive my daughter to the busstop.

    In September there will most probably only be one daughter (Dana - 17 turning 18) at home, so the family will be reduced to two people (me and Dana). Sophia will have left the house to experience the other side of workaway.
    We drive to Geneva to school and work every day and with our busy lives it is very useful to have someone to help in the house with daily work and on the seasonal projects.
    We are used to living with a person from abroad and we have always enjoyed the exchange with the additional family member very much. Dana (and her sister Sophia) speak German, English and French. I am of German origin, we live in France and I work as an English teacher in Geneva. The region here is very international and both my daughters have experienced home-stays abroad for student exchanges. So international atmosphere and the coming and going is something we cherish.
    We are mostly busy with work and school during the week and enjoy the mountains, the lakes, fitness center and being with friends and family during the weekend.
    I also enjoy dancing. I dance Argentine Tango and could also teach you the basics.
    We also have a cat that likes to have a lot of attention, but which is not a lot of work.

    Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

    We have had someone live with us for more than 15 years with frequent changes involved. So we are very easy going, curious and open minded. We will have dinner together on workdays and you can join our hikes, excursions to cities or lakes, ski days or evenings in restaurants in the region. I have lived in the region for more than 20 years and can give you good information about where to go. We enjoy local food and are glad to share the recipes. We speak German and French at home, but are also able to communicate in English. As a language teacher I can easily help you with learning French.
    Around the dinner table we discuss a lot of topics involving learning, social interaction (in the classroom), travelling, health, languages, psychology and of course homework and many more.
    I am also willing to share my passion for dance and hiking with you. I used to teach dance, so I can easily help you with it, or take you to the right places.

    Arbeit

    You will assist in the household in a very light way. No more than 2 or 3 hours of help every day will be required - sometimes more, sometimes less. The tasks are mainly household tasks like picking up groceries, hanging the laundry, wiping the floor, some cooking , if you like. Depending on the season there is some gardening or extra cleaning to do. Maybe Dana needs to be taken to the busstop a couple of times, before she turns 18 (end September '25) and can drive in Switzerland.
    In addition to housing and meals, you will have a car that you can use. It is a manual car. You will need to use it for the job, but you are free to use it for private driving as long as we are clear about who pays whose petrol and who needs it. If you come with your own car, this will be appreciated, since it leaves you and Dana the freedom to move around as you like without discussion, who takes the car when . There are always solutions found and possible compromises, if you come without car. We are used to that.
    The schedules and tasks will be communicated in advance (with a certain degree of flexibility needed) and organization is always very clear with us, so that you can plan your free time without major surprises.

    It is interesting for the girls to practice German or English, since they are pretty stable in both, but still want to progress in speaking practice.

    You will have a room in our house with a balcony and Wifi connection. You can use the kitchen, since you live with us and you will share the bathroom with my daughters.

    We live in a small pre-Alp village (Mijouet- Fillinges) not far from Geneva and Annecy. It is a very beautiful and touristic region. In summer tourist come for hiking (it is one hour from Mt. Blanc) and obviously in winter they come for skiing. There are plenty of other workawayers in the region. However, there will always be driving a car involved. So it is really important that you can drive a manual car and that you easily adapt to a new car and region. You should also like nature. However, you won't miss the city. It is only a 20-30 minutes drive to Geneva.
    You will have a lot of time for youself, so it is good to have interests and occupations.
    You can also get into contact with the au pairs and workawayers that have lived with us, to get an idea about the kind of family we are.

    We have a stable Wifi connection. You will have a room with a desk and a bed, but you can also use common rooms, if the noise and concentration level allows it.

    It is a mountainous region, but we will be able to find a flat spot, that still leaves enough space so I can park and move my car.

    We have a cat and it is very territorial oriented and loud. I don't mind accepting another animal. I like animals, but there might be tension with the cat. If you take care of your animal and there is no additional work or dirt for me implied, I am fine with it.
