  • Description

    Description

    We are a family of 3 people : Julian (6 years) and Cédric & Julia (35-37 y.o) with also a lot of friends and family around. After one year around the world during which we visisted 12 countries, we decided to come back in France hoping to live "differently". We would like a daily life simplier, funnier, with more adventures and sharing, a new way of consumption based on local and solidarity economy.

    Help

    To continue in a spirit of adventure and meeting, we propose to foreign workawayer to join our family. We need help for our child and the house during the week.

    Because we travelled a lot, we though about a formula in wich both of us could take advantages :
    in exchange of some childcare for our 6 year’s old son (4 days per week : 3 afternoon and evening + wednesday) , you would have a 3 days-week-end to be able to travel or visit the region ( and free hours too during the day to study or visit during the week).

    We like games, cultural events, going out or having friends at home, walking in the mountains, … We will share our activities with you if you want to. Julian’s dream is to live in New York, so if you speak English that would be great.

    We thus give ourselves always a few days of "test" in the beginning of stay to be sure(safe) that everybody feels good together.
    A great sense of fun would be an asset ;-)
    We hope see you soon !
    Non-smoker only - Would appreciate minimum stay 2 months or at least one shool period. You can even stay for the entire school year!!!!

    You can be student or travellers, sure that if you explain us your project, we can find a way to accomadate each of us !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
