  Description

  We are Benedikt and Fanny, respectively from Austria and France. We have lived in many different countries before settling in Zug, Switzerland. We speak English, French, German and Spanish.
  We are back to work away after welcoming 2 children to the world, Oliver 20 months and Iris 3.5 y old.
  We love to stay active and although life is different with 2 young kids, we still cycle, run, swim or play tennis.
  We are vegetarian, although we don't ask you to be.
  What we ask from you:
  it is an adjustment for children to bring someone new to our home and for that reason we prefer someone who want to stay for a minimum of 2 weeks, preferably 2-3 months.
  you would need to be either a native French, German or English speaker (or fluent)
  you need to be comfortable with young children for example: keep quiet during nap and bedtime, no alcohol and of course enjoy the company of children

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Zug is a small city with all the amenities (shopping, cultural activities) of a larger city. It is home to many expats and the cultural and social offering is also catering for the many expats, e.g. the Casino Theatre has an English speaking program, the library offers story reading in different languages. There is a lake bordering the centre of Zug with many public beaches and offers unlimited outdoor activity options.
  If you want to escape the city, Zug is 20 min by train from Zurich, 60 min from the ski slopes.
  We would gladly speak English, German, French or Spanish with you and include you in our daily activities.
