    Description

    Hi.

    We are a South African couple with two children, boy 14 girl 10. We live in sunny France. We host students during school holidays and at the moment we could do with an extra pair of hands just to help around the house. Duties will include house-cleaning and maybe some light gardening and child minding . We are a fun, outgoing family. We have hosted students for many years, and still do, so we are quite used to sharing our home. Where we live (near Perpignan, France) is an amazingly beautiful area. Loads of outdoor activities, Spain is only 10 minutes from us, the beach 20 minutes and the river and lake within walking distance. If you are looking to explore this area then contact us. Happy to do Skype or zoom call to answer any questions. We also have other links with English teaching/live-in options (Oct-Mar) if our requirements don't match with your availability. Hope to hear from you soon. Happy travels.
