We are a couple with 3 young kids (twins, Marius and Isia 5 years old, and baby Rosalie 16 months old). We live in the nature, in the hills just above La Ciotat's lovely harbour and beaches. Access to the town on your free time is possible biking, walking and taking busses. We have a big house, a big garden, a big swimming-pool and some space for you :)
If you are looking for a great place for shopping, clubbying, meeting lots of people your age: don't come to us, this is not the place!

Help in the house
Learning french via daily interaction with us, visiting the Provence region by train or blablacar, maybe sailing with our boat if the weather allows it!
We need different types of help and are flexible to adapt to your competencies and to your wishes :) If you only or mainly want to help in one of the 3 following list of needs, it is possible.
List of our needs:
1- help with our house organisation (tidying up, preparing meals, laundry, empty/fill the dish washer etc)
2- kids and baby (playing, feeding)
3- help outside: we have a 4000m² garden where we cut and store wood which we heat our house with, we also need help with pruning the trees (spring), and want to install a chickencoop and a vegetable garden.
Some of our houserules:
- breakfast and diner are family only and we give our Workaway person accès to a kitchen and dining area separately at our first floor (otherwise the kids get too excited). Lunch can be taken together. Diner on no-school days can be taken together. In any case, food will be provided ready and cooked (maybe by you!) at all meals of the week, so you don't have to cook even if you eat separately from us in "your" kitchen. You can also give us a list of your food needs and we get it delivered for you each week.
- biological food provided at all meals, we eat mainly vegetarian meals, meat once a week in average (chicken or duck or BBQ)
- we do not accept judgements, advices and other help concerning the education of our kids. We have chosen an education based on empathy, neuroscience and understanding the emotions and developmental needs of our kids. This is called “empathic approach” or "positive education".
- if you stay with us for a week only, then probably there will be no or very limited childcare, only house and garden tasks

You will have your own room at the first floor of our house, we live downstairs. At the first floor we have only offices, a spare kitchen, and a WC/ bathroom, where you could have some privacy away from the family noise :) Biological food provided at all meals.
