Description
** We would like to find our next workawayer for at least 3 months not less.
We are looking for someone who doesn’t speak French in order to have a real cultural exchange **
Hello :)
We are a family of 5, living 15 minutes from downtown Montréal (St-Lambert neighbourhood).
We are Anaïs & Guillaume, a French-Canadian couple who immigrated from France to Canada in 2016. Our son, Tom (4-year-old) & our daughter Lily (1-year-old) are born in Canada. We also have a dog: a cute samoyed called Willo, he is very friendly & affectionate (7-year-old).
We both work from home and we are going to the office a few days a week.
Anaïs works for a bank and Guillaume owns his company, he is working with long hours so we struggle sometimes to take care of everything. As our close family is in France, we don't have much help.
Tom & Lily are going to daycare on weekdays & Willo is sleeping all day long :)
We will provide a bedroom + private bathroom + healthy food.
We would love to welcome a traveler that could help us in the day to day logistics, like house chores, childcare & pet petcare.
You will learn French by practicing with all the family, eat great food (we love to cook) and get to enjoy Montréal.
We are kind, respectful, tidy, and helpful and we are looking for someone the same.
We want to share good times with people from all over the world.
Looking forward to meet you !
Important note: we are not living in Montréal but very close
