Elle a ensuite passé 8 jours à la maison en notre absence en juillet. Elle s'est occupée avec soin de notre potager, de nos poules, de notre chat et de notre maison.… read more
I stayed with them for 2 weeks, they were both very welcoming and would help me with any need/request that I had.
The work itself was not hard and they came towards me and let me work in the hours that I preferred.
I had my own room to myself inside their house.
Overall I would recommend :)
