    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.

    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!
