Description
We are a brother and sister, 4 and 6 years old, who love to dance, sing, play the piano and paint. We live with our parents in a charming little artists' village on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest, 45 km from Paris, called Barbizon. It is a tourist village famous for having welcomed the first expressionist painters because of its beautiful light and its proximity to the forest. There are all the amenities on site, as well as a wide choice of restaurants and of course our school which is located 6 minutes walk from the house. Our artist dad has a beautiful bright studio that he can share with you if you need a space to write, draw, meditate or do yoga.

Help
Our parents need help to take care of us because they work a lot and don't always have time to take care of the garden with us. Like all parents they are always running around and are often late to pick us up from school. They are looking for someone who would be happy to share moments of life and play with us and to help them take care of the house because they are not very handy! (Gardening, odd jobs, ...)
