    Description

    Hi and welcome to our home in Nice, on the beautiful French Riviera!

    I live in a large family property surrounded by a 4,000 m² garden, just 15 minutes from the famous Promenade des Anglais. I enjoy travelling, discovering new cultures and meeting people from all over the world. After many years of travelling myself, I love sharing my home and the French way of life with international visitors.

    Family life is an important part of our home. I have two lovely boys, Ulysse and Ambroise, who are now 5 and 7 years old. They stay with me every other weekend and for half of the school holidays, so the house has a different rhythm depending on the week.

    We also recently welcomed two adorable French Bulldog puppies, both just 3 months old! They are becoming part of the family and need plenty of attention, patience and gentle care.

    I am now looking for friendly, reliable and proactive Workawayers who would enjoy helping us with two main areas:

    Help is mainly related to everyday household tasks, keeping shared areas tidy and helping with the general upkeep of the home and outdoor areas.

    Depending on your skills and interests, you can focus more on practical maintenance or on household tasks and animal care. We can discuss the best fit together before your arrival.

    In return, you will have your own private double bedroom, the opportunity to enjoy our home and facilities, and plenty of time to discover Nice and the French Riviera.

    I am looking for people who are happy to become part of everyday family life, enjoy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and appreciate a genuine cultural exchange. If you are practical, considerate, independent and enjoy being around children and animals, we could be a great match!

    Our property is also occasionally rented out for short stays, either as a whole or as separate parts of the house.

    When the property or part of it is rented out, you will have free time to enjoy the house, relax or explore Nice and the French Riviera. We will always discuss any help needed in advance so that you can plan your time and make the most of your stay.

    I look forward to meeting you and sharing our little corner of the Côte d’Azur.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We speak English and French fluently, and I also speak some Spanish. I have travelled extensively and enjoy exchanging stories, learning about other cultures and sharing experiences.

    We have two young French Bulldog puppies, so you should genuinely enjoy being around dogs. As they are still very young, they need patience, gentle handling and supervision.

    Our family routine varies depending on whether my children are staying with me. They are with me every other weekend and for half of the school holidays.

    We are looking for a respectful and reliable person who is comfortable living in a family home, can take initiative with agreed tasks and also enjoys having their own free time.

    Please tell us a little about yourself, your practical skills, your experience with dogs or children, and what kind of experience you are looking for.

    We welcome independent travellers who want to discover the French Riviera while taking part in a genuine cultural exchange.

  • Help

    Help

    Help with everyday household tasks, general upkeep of the home and outdoor areas, daily care of our two French bulldog puppies, and occasional help with the children when they are staying with me. We are looking for reliable, practical and independent people who are happy to contribute to everyday life in a private home.

    I am looking for people who are comfortable with hands-on tasks, take initiative, are organised and understand the importance of reliability and respect for a private home.

    This is not a holiday with no responsibilities. I appreciate people who are willing to participate properly and who are happy with a practical, hands-on exchange.

    We will agree on the schedule and duties in advance, with sufficient free time for you to enjoy your stay and explore the French Riviera.

    Our aim is to create a positive exchange: your help makes family life and property maintenance easier, while you get to experience life in Nice in a welcoming home.

    As part of our family life, we sometimes rent out the entire property or a separate part of it for short stays.

    When guests are staying in the rented part of the property, you will have free time. Our aim is to organise things so that you can enjoy your own time and discover the French Riviera.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own private double bedroom in our main house, with access to the shared living areas and facilities.

    The property has a large garden, a swimming pool, a pool house and several outdoor relaxation areas. It is a spacious family home where you can enjoy both privacy and time together.

    We have Wi-Fi throughout the property. Free parking is available if you are travelling by car.

    The house is located in Nice, with easy access to the city centre and the French Riviera. The Promenade des Anglais is approximately 15 minutes away, and public transport is available nearby.

    During your free time, you can explore Nice, visit the surrounding villages, enjoy the beaches or take trips along the coast. I am also happy to share local recommendations and help you discover places beyond the usual tourist spots.
