  Description

  A mum very busy and 2 kids (8y and 5y) , full of joy!
  French, english, and portuguese speaking (the mum).
  And a cat.
  We live in a house with a big garden, with trees, and a lot of nature around. In the East of NIMES city. The city center is not far (15 min) by car or tram bus AND the nature, rivers, moutain, and the charming Provence are not far too. It is a quiet charming location not far from the city. The sea is about at 45 min and river at 30'. A lot of hiking spots around. We have a confortable room to welcome for a few nights some help with the garden and repair things. If you can teach english to the kids it could be great for them to learn and speak english, since they are young, they learn fast! They will speak to you in french for you to learn french! We would like someone who knows how to take care of the garden, and grow tomatoes and other things in the garden to eat, and put herbs to cook. We also can offer you to cook specialities, and you can show us your cooking talents too! we want to have a chicken coop, if you can help to build it, take care of the hen to have our own eggs : this is a project! We also need occasional help to repair bicycles, and things in the house, to paint etc.. If you are a handyman or woman, it will be greatly appreciated!
  We are very close to "Camargue" with its boheme spirit, with a lot of horses, pink floyds, and nature around, and a city center, at the same time to go out and have cultural experiences.
