    ==============
    We are currently booked until May. There are availabilities towards end May and during June. Contact us for those last weeks of the school year.
    ==============

    We are a three headed family (Britta, Sophia, Dana) - one Mom and two kids of 16 and 18, but Sophia is abroad until May. We have had au pairs every year so far, and the two girls have grown out of the age of having an au pair. However I am a single mom and thus the only adult person in the family with a drivers licence. Daily life is complicated without help, in particular in a typical French village with no bus connection. We work and go to school in Geneva and since schedules don't always match, assistance is helpful. Dana is attending bilingual high-school in Geneva.

    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 speaks 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 I am pretty active in the Tango scene and love to discover new musics and dancers. I 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 14 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 can help you with learning to ski, if you like and if there is enough snow. 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. As a teacher and with two girls in school age, topics involve 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

    The workawayer's main task is to pick up Dana on some days and sometimes take her to the bus stop. There is no bus connection. So driving skills are central. 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. It is mainly household tasks like picking up groceries, hanging the laundry, wiping the floor, maybe some cooking sometimes and some snow shoveling if needed. Depending on the timetables, pick ups are two or three times a week with some additional driving for leisure time activities.
    In addition to housing and meals, you will have a car that you can use. 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.
    The schedules and tasks will be communicated in advance and and discussion about who does what and when are always very clear with us, so that you can organise your free time without surprises. We do have some flexibility, but less in winter.

    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.

    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 and easily adapt to a new car and region. In particular, since you need to pick up one of the girls from time to time. You should also like nature. However, you won't miss the city. It is only a 20-30 minutes drive to Geneva.
    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.

    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.
