  Description

  Hello,
  
  We are a happy family of 4. Magali, Benoit, and our 2 lovely daughters Marie and Rose, respectively 4 and 2 years old. Soon turning 5 and 3. They are great little balls of joy, laughter and fun, and yes sometimes a few cries, but they never last for long !!
  
  We are 2 busy doctors working a bit too many hours and are looking for some help with the kids, mainly early morning wakeups and lifts to kindergarten and help with food prep for dinners during the week. You would be free to do your own thing the rest of the time.
  
  We are living in Levis, in a superb modern house by the water. We are right across the river (St-Lawrence River) from Quebec City and its beautiful Chateau Frontenac. The ferry is a kilometer away from the house.
  
  We also have a chalet at Mont Ste-Anne, a ski-bike hill an hour away from home that we would be happy to share.
  
  You would have an independent bedroom and restroom just for you on a different level than our living quarters.
  
  Having a valid driving license is ideal as we would like you to drive our girls to the kindergarten (10 minute drive). You could also have access to a car for your own ramblings.
  
  Finally, we are not looking for someone short term. We want someone that would be willing to come live with us for at least 4 months, ideally more.
  
  We are looking to find a good match and welcome you into our little family and help you discover Quebec.

  Bonjour !!
  
  Nous sommes une famille heureuse de 4. Magali et Benoit (les parents) et Marie et Rose (les enfants) qui ont 4 et 2 ans, bientôt 5 et 3 ans. Elles sont adorables et sont de petites boules de joie, bonheur et rire. Bien sûr, nous avons droit à des petites crises de pleurs occasionnelles, mais elles ne sont jamais de longue durée !!!! Les filles sont très complices et ont toujours été adorées par les différentes nounous / éducatrices.
  
  Nous sommes 2 médecins travaillant parfois un peu trop fort et cherchons de l'aide principalement avec les réveils matinaux et les déplacements pour la garderie ainsi que de l'aide avec la préparation des soupers. Vous seriez pas mal libre le reste du temps.
  
  Nous vivons dans une superbe maison d'architecte toute récente sur le bord du fleuve St-Laurent avec une magnifique vue sur l'eau, la ville de Québec et son splendide Chateau Frontenac. Le traversier se trouve à moins d'un kilomètre de la maison et vous êtes à Québec après 10 minutes de trajet sur ce dernier.
  
  Nous possédons aussi un chalet de ski-vélo au mont Ste-Anne que nous serons heureux de partager.
  
  Vous aurez une chambre ainsi qu'une salle de bains attitrés sur un étage indépendant du nôtre.
  
  Nous recherchons idéalement quelqu'un avec un permis de conduire valide afin de pouvoir nous aider avec les conduites à la garderie le matin (10 minutes de trajet).
  
  Finalement, nous cherchons quelqu'un pour un minimum de 4 mois, voire plus longtemps.
  
  Au plaisir de vous connaître et de partager des moments inoubliables avec notre petite famille !

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We have very good friends that have had workawayers and they all loved the experience. Some of them have almost become members of the family over time.
  
  We are an outdoors family that practice many sports and love the outdoors and we would love to include you in them if interested. (Hiking, biking, skiing)
  It would be interesting to us to potentially practice a new language but also for the grils too. At their age they are like sponges.
  We looove food and are really curious about different cooking techniques and cultures.
