Stay in charming house full of life and help a family in Val-David, Canada

  Description

  I have a charming house in the mountains of the Laurentides, in Val-David, a beautiful and inspiring village, full of outdoors and artistic projects. I am single-mom, my daugther Billie is 5, and my son Charlot is 9. I look for help to maintain the house, especially the garden and some small wood work - if you can cut trees it is even better.
  
  I am also looking for help with the kids, as I have a demanding work. I work mostly from home, or travel when the kids are with their father so you would have time alone in the house as well.
  
  I have 7 acres land (connecting to the regional parc: perfect for hiking backcountry skiing from the house), we have 9 chickens and lots of projects to share. We are a safe space, it is the priority for me that everyone feels safe here. We have a sail boat on a lake not too far, we like to go regularly! In winter we are downhill skier, and snow lovers!

  J'ai une charmante maison dans les montagnes des Laurentides, à Val-David, un village magnifique et inspirant, regorgeant de plein air et de projets artistiques. Je suis mère célibataire, ma fille Billie a 5 ans et mon fils Charlot 9 ans. Je recherche de l'aide pour l'entretien de la maison, notamment le jardin et quelques petits travaux de menuiserie ; si vous savez couper des arbres, c'est encore mieux.
  
  Je recherche également de l'aide pour les enfants, car mon travail est exigeant. Je travaille principalement de la maison ou je voyage lorsque les enfants sont avec leur père. Donc vous auriez du temps seul.e à la maison aussi.
  
  J'ai un terrain de 7 acres (relié au parc régional : idéal pour la randonnée en ski de randonnée depuis la maison), nous avons 9 poules et beaucoup de projets à partager. Nous sommes un endroit sûr ; ma priorité est que tout le monde se sente en sécurité ici. Nous avons un voilier sur un lac pas trop loin, nous aimons y aller régulièrement ! En hiver, nous sommes skieurs alpins et amoureux de la neige !
