Description
We are an Italian-French family, living in a small village at 1100m of altitude in the Vallée d'Oeuil, in the central French Pyrenees. Our house is surrounded by a large garden, meadows, forests and plenty of mountains.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Babysitting and creative play
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a yoga teacher and a mountain leader, and we would love to share our passions with the Workawayer. There will be as well possibilities to learn French or Italian.
Since we are currently renovating an old grange in an eco-friendly way, if the Workawayer will be interested, she/he could participate into this project and, of course, in gardening around the house. Regarding this point, if the Workawayer will be interested, she/he could learn permaculture techniques in gardening from our sister- and brother-in-law who partly use the garden to grow vegetables and aromatic herbs.Au Pair Help

Help
We need help on specific periods: January, from March to July, then from September to December 2025.
We are looking for someone that could help us on different tasks: babysitting (we have 2 daughters, Nina and Zelie), light housework (prep meal, laundry, cleaning), gardening (mainly during spring) and in renovating an old grange.
Regarding children, Nina, our oldest child, is currently attending pre-school, while Zelie, our youngest child, is at home with us. Since I'll be breastfeeding and working from home, I'll be always present to jointly take care of Zelie with the Workawayer.Languages

I love speaking English. I learnt Portuguese in 2010 when I spent 5 months in Brazil, so I'd be happy to practice it again.Accommodation
The Workawayer will have her/his own room, with private toilet and bathroom (with shower).
We will eat together for lunch and dinner. We are mainly vegetarian, we eat eggs and cheese, some fish from time to time.What else ...
We are 15 minutes away by car from Bagnères-de-Luchon, where you can find all kind of services (supermarkets, library, cinema, shops, gym, café, thermal baths). The area is a great place for those who love outdoors activities (hiking, skiing, mountain bike, trail running, paragliding, climbing). You can actually start hiking straight from the front door :-)
We are 30 minutes away by car from the France-Spain border, perfect for short or long trips to visit Spain.
From Bagnères-de-Luchon, you can reach the train station in Montréjeau in 45min. From there, you can travel to Toulouse (2h), or further to the Mediterranen sea or to the ocean.A little more information
