Description
Hello Hello :-) Looking for someone for a week around mid-October!
We are a French family with two kids: Léonie is 14 and Charles is 12.
I'm going to tell you more about us :-)
First, where we live: we live in a house in La Brède, it is 10 min from Bordeaux by train. You will have your own room. The area is very nice. You will have free time on your own to explore it!
Then what we are looking for: well we are looking for somebody , not shy but very sociable, to stay with us and the plan is: I want youto help me around the house with basic chores and speak English with my kids and me :-). For the house it will be basic stuff like tidying the kids' bedrooms and the kitchen, living room, change the beds...
You will have 2 days off, free to do whatever you want ;-) visit the region :-) Bordeaux is a wine region, a lot of vineyards, beaches are 1 hour away from our house too!
We already had a lot of workaway girls. The girls who stayed at our place had gone to toulouse for the weekend to visit more about France but you can also stay with us or spend a day or two in Bordeaux...in Arcachon, Ste Emillion...
so basically I need your help to help me a bit with the house, tidying the house and of course teach my kids a lot of English!
I also want to practice my English with you ;-) I'm an English teacher!
Tell me if you have questions :-)
Bises
Delphine.
