    Hello!

    We are a family of 3, a dad and two happy kids.
    - Rémi, 13 years old, passionate about sailing and skiing, and he loves paragliding with his father!
    - Titouan, 8 years old, discover the world every single day with shining eyes. He follows his brother and father but definitely prefers artistic project and potery.
    - Me, Gwen, physiotherapist, passionate about mountain in general, sailing, and especially paragliding.
    Our home is located in Talloires, a village down Annecy Lake.

    We are living in a charming appartment in a renovated farm with a very nice view on the mountain. From here, you will enjoy lots of nice activities as hiking, swimming, skiing, paragliding, cycling...
    You will have your own bedroom.

    Your job will be to give a hand in domestics task as cooking, homeworks with the kids, taking care of the kids after school and speaking with them in english! I'd rather host english speaker, but i would also be happy to meet any traveler eager to spend time with us.

    During school time I mostly need someone after four pm. You would be free the rest of the day.
    During the holidays, I need someone to spend more time with the kids while I'm working. (We can decide schedules).

    Since we cannot always travel, we would like travel to come to us!

    Looking forward to meet you! =)



    Bonjour!

    Nous sommes une famille de trois, un papa et deux joyeux garçons.
    - Rémi, 13 ans, passionné de voile et de ski, adore voler en parapente avec son Papa!
    - Titouan, 8 ans, découvre chaque jour le monde avec ses yeux émerveillés d'enfant. Il suit son frère en ski et parfois son père en parapente, mais préfère l'art plastique et la poterie!
    - Moi, Gwen, kinésithérapeute, passionné par la montagne et la voile, et en particulier par le parapente.

    Nous habitons dans un appartement plein de charme dans une ancienne ferme rénovée à Talloires, les pieds dans l'eau du lac d'Annecy et la tête dans les montagnes qui le bordent.
    Vous aurez votre propre chambre.

    Je cherche une personne, anglophone de préférence, pour me donner un coup de main dans les tâches journalières (repas, devoirs, garde des enfants, tâches ménagères basiques) et surtout pour parler anglais avec les enfants! Mais je serais ravi de vous accueillir quelque soit votre nationalité.

    Pendant le temps scolaire, j'aurais besoin de quelqu'un après l'école les lundis et mardi et aussi les mercredi matin.
    Pendant les vacances, vous passerez plus de temps avec les enfants pendant mon temps de travail. (horaires à discuter).

    Pour tous ces moments où on ne peut pas voyager, on aimerait faire entrer le voyage dans notre quotidien!

    Hâte de vous rencontrer! :)
