    Description

    We are a small family of 3, with a baby under 1 year old. We are French, settled in Quebec for 5 years, and have traveled a lot around the world. We try to continue traveling with our little one :)

    We live in a house in Terrebonne (30km north of Montreal), in a residential area, 2 steps from a forest, and close to amenities.

    We are simple people, we like to meet new people, we are close to nature and try as much as possible to live in an eco-responsible way. We speak French and English fluently, and Spanish

    We are looking for someone who can take care of Martin, our baby, during the month of August and early September during the day.
    Martin is an adorable baby, he will be 1 year old on July 18th.
    I am going back to work on August 11th but we will not have a place in daycare until the beginning of September.

    The help will consist of:
    - playing with Martin
    - feeding him
    - changing diapers
    - putting him to nap
    - giving him a bath if necessary
    - taking him for walks or other activities that you deem appropriate
    - help in preparing meals would be greatly appreciated, and if you come from another country, do not hesitate to have us try your specialties! I work from home so I can be available in case of problems and I will take over during my breaks :)

    Nous cherchons quelqu'un qui pourrait s'occuper de Martin, notre bébé, au mois d'août et debut septembre pendant la journée.
    Martin est un bébé adorable, il aura 1 an le 18 juillet.
    Je reprends le travail le 11 aout mais nous n'aurons une place en garderie que debut septembre.

    L'aide consistera en :
    - jouer avec Martin
    - le nourrir
    - changer les couches
    - le mettre à la sieste
    - lui donner le bain eventuellement
    - l'emmener en promenade ou autre activité que vous jugerez adéquate
    - une aide dans la préparation des repas serait grandement apprécié, et si vous venez d'un autre pays, n'hésitez pas à nous faire tester vos spécialités!
    Je travaille de la maison donc je pourrai être disponible en cas de problème et je prendrai le relai lors de mes pauses :)
