    Description

    Hello! We have moved to Corsica close to Bavella and Zonza's village..... in a cosy 3 bedroom house with our son Arthur born in July 2018. Remi is 45 years old and work full time in Ajaccio or at home sometimes in other harbors of the Island (even in Sardinia) and Julie (46) runs a mountain agency and is a mountain guide with various hours and some early wakes up .... Arthur goes to school 4 times a week and can also go to a kindergarden on wednesdays.
    Help needed to help in the house (cleaning different rooms and stairs, cooking cakes, marmelade, yogourts or ice creams, meals :3 times à week àt leàst), garden (watering, trials to germinate seeds, building gardeners, cut the grass and some wood,picking up herbs or fruits, building a chicken's house), to take care of Arthur sometimes on wednesday mornings and evenings during the week.
