    *****************
    Now looking for our winter Workawayer
    *****************


    We are an international family - Murray from New Zealand, Christina from Germany and our son Léon was born in France.

    We live in Val d'Isère, one of Europe's most famous ski resorts. We live here year-round and are mainly looking for someone to help with Léon (born August 2017) when we are busy with work. Léon is deaf but can hear with cochlear implants. He is very energetic and never stops (except for hours of Lego), so being energetic yourself but with a calm presence will make the task a lot more enjoyable! :-)

    We won't expect more than 20 hours a week on average, although there might be weeks with more hours (up to 30 during school holidays) and weeks with less hours (often only as little as 12 hours over 2 or 3 days on school weeks - we'll make sure it'll balance out!).

    During the winter period there are 6 weeks of school holidays, the rest of the time (approx 14 weeks) Léon is at school and you will have most of the time off. During those school weeks the biggest day for you is the Sunday as it's our busiest work day of the week.

    You'll eat meals either with us or we'll make sure there is something available for you (although lunch may only be a sandwich). Unfortunately, there are no cooking facilities for you to prepare your own food in our "winter quarters".

    There will be plenty of time for you to explore the mountains and go skiing.

    Our winter helpers should ideally be able to join us for the whole season (late November until end of April), mostly so they can make the most of their ski pass which costs a big chunk of money and unfortunately is not transferable to another person.

    If we need a helper in summer, we can do shorter stays, depending on when we actually are around as we tend to go visit our families during summer holidays too.

    Very happy to answer any other questions!

    Oh yes, I (Christina) have done a fair bit of wwoofing myself, so hope to understand and meet a traveler's needs! :-)

    Hope to hear from you! :-)

    We're a very international family, between us we speak 3 languages (and some French sign language). Murray is a chef with over 25 years experience. We run an online cookery school in summer and manage a small hotel for a British tour operator in the winter. So you will not only meet us, but also about 45 other staff members in winter - usually in their early twenties.

    Arbeit

    Mostly looking after Léon when he is not at school and we're working; very occasionally help in the house (like maybe hanging up laundry, tidying up after playtime etc, but won't expect actual cleaning).

    Down to the task of looking after Léon who is pretty impulsive (basically like a puppy running after butterflies), it is preferable if you have experience with young children and are slightly more mature yourself. You don't need to be a special needs teacher in their 40s, but we feel someone as young as 18 could easily get carried away by the temptations of a ski resort and then struggle to find a good balance between the fun bits and the tasks at hand.

    It helps if you are a keen, good and responsible skier as we'd be happy for you to spend time on the slopes with Léon on his days off school which makes the whole experience more fun for you. (This is absolutely not mandatory)

    Val d'isere is one of the best ski resorts in the world and in summer it's an amazing place for hiking, cycling, mountain biking etc. They say people come for the winters and stay for the summers, and that's exactly what happened for us.

    Winter seasons are a definite highlight with hundreds of kilometers of slopes to explore! Just a heads up: ski pass prices aren't cheap, currently at 71€ a day or just under 1000€ for a seasonal pass. Just something to consider when you're budgeting your trip! ;-)
