  Description

  I welcome you to a magnificent loft in Aimargues, in south france, 15 minutes from the sea, 15 minutes from Nimes or Montpellier. The house is very spacious, bright with a zen atmosphere and you have your own private room with shower. I am a single mother with 2 young children with alternating residence for them now.
  I need help on a daily basis (meals, cleaning, exterior maintenance, shopping, babysitting, taking care of the dog...). I love the idea of sharing our cultures, helping each other and learning languages...
  I would prefer with my children of 3 and 5 years old someone who like children and who can speak a minimum of french to be understood and to be able to keep them if It's necessary.
  I have as well 1 adorable little dog to take care...
  The house is equipped with a garden, a swimming pool and it is next to all amenities.
  I am looking for people to come and stay a minimum of 2 weeks...
  We are vegetarian family.
  It is preferable to have a car to be autonomous and visit our beautiful region...

  What else ...

  I am looking rather for a vegetarian/rawfood open minded helper in south France. We live in south France, 15 minutes from the beach, 15 minutes from Nîmes or Montpellier, by car or bus. Nearest train station is Aimargues or Lunel. There is a bus station next to the house to go to nimes. Less than one hour from our house, you can reach easily Avignon, Arles, Uzès famous cities to visit. One hour and a half is Marseille. Having a car here is much more recommanded to enjoy the place.
  Regarding food : I'm vegetarian, orientated vegan and living food. There is no meat, no alcohol or cow milk in my house. I try to reach this way of life as much as possible for me & my children so I prefer that you are also veg, adaptable or ready to try to live with these rules.
  On the other hand I will be happy to make you discover a lot of alternative food : seaweeds, germinated seed, make fresh milk from sprouted almonds or soaked chufas. I make dehydrated raw crakers or delicious wraps...
  I look for a vegetarian friendly non smoking person, with some experience in attending children (it's a plus). The hosting friend can share with us the caretaking of Maxence (5 years'old) and Elise (3 years 's old) when there are at home.
  I'm looking for a person willing to share my family life, happy to help in a good state of mind, adaptable, positive and with strongwilling. I'm really open minded to other cultures and I like sharing.
  Previously I was marketing manager but I've decided since I have my children to take time for them and myself...
  I used to travel a lot and particularly in Australia and NZ for 1 year where I could get a better english level.
  
  Following the experience of some other hosting friends in workaway, here is what I am not interested in, so please do not waste your time and my time applying uselessly if you fall in one of these categories :
  - workawayers smoking or drinking alcohol at home
  - workawayers who are not at least experienced vegetarian, because I wouldn't like you feel discomfortable with my meals
  - workawayers allergic to dogs or cats
  - workawayers who are not interested to learn french
