Hi workawayers friends, Vanessa here in charge , a 45 year old single mom.. living with her 17 year old independant funny sweet and smart son....
So ! we are 20 min drive from Paris, in Orgeval 78 , one hour by public transports bus station is 20 min walk and then straight to Paris in another 20 minutes , we live in two houses our main one is 90 square meters house with 3 cats and dogs near by, the seconde house is 70 sqmeters with separated rooms for the cats,
the entrance living room large studio with your own space is for the work away, you will have your own fridge and american kitchen, bathroom with bathtub hot water of course, a great washing machine for your laundry , a computer and a 4G card tha can be use for phones to share the connection to the pc while in your studio here , note that 15 meters away ; at my place you have optic fiber internet for the fastest internet available here ,
I work from home,spending all of of time between receiving clients visists, groceries , cats/ house stuff my son and cooking , little time left for cleaning
I speek fluently english (spent 10 years in the US as well as spanish, we all lives 5 years in Costa Rica on a remote self sufficient turistical ranch) both me and my kids speak fluently englsh and spanish ....
we are getting loads of demands so I have to be a little more selective , this is like a au pair job without kids but cats and kittens ... lots of cleaning floors, disinfecting cleaning litters , food bowls... and playing /interacting with the cats (I know a dream !) about 4 hours a day 5 if you include a petting/ playing hour. some time less ... but we will always work out a planning that suits you and then us best !
WE ask for at leats 30 days commitement wich will be confirmed by both side after a few days trial ... if it doesn't work out well no problem we will nicely tell you why, same for both parties
we eat meat but can do meat less meal for special diets , you will be offered 3 meals a day one her with us , and always your fridge pretty full if you want to cook for your self .
I am looking for an independant English or spanish native person, (only or mega fluent so we can practice) 22 years old minimum, not afraid of cleaning duties, which is a daily chores here, MOST IMPORTANT that likes countrylife, and can handle also a bit of solitude (you will have a lot of alone time)
Having worked or with "good animals sensibility" and knowledge and loving animal is a must as well as longer stayers (a month commitement is minimum), meals are offered, even on non working days.

I am open minded and easy going we want this exchange to work
Fiber optic internet available at my house, gym possible for 19e month in our town.
Forest access for long walks 15 meter from our house, sight seing, Versailles, Saint Germain and Giverny are in a 30 min distance.
a minimum of 3 weeks comittement is appreciated. How ever if any of parties is unsatisfied it could be reduced. just give us a few days notice by politeness as we would do the same to you. "No showers" will be badly reviewed because we have many demands it means because of the non shower I have say no to a potential fabulous volunteer and that I am not ok with.
We want you to be happy and have the full french experience. The house is apart, if you want to be alone or need to focus on studying or whatever it is also fine with us.
I can, teach you basic healthy french cooking and other type of food, I can teach you also about breeding almost any kind taming and ethological behaviourism on animals.
I try to never kick a workaway away and always give them priority even I have to move around the next one, the current work away always has priority , most of the time we bond and stay friends, and I never kick friends out !
