    Description

    I'm still looking for someone who can stay at least for 2 months (1 months is OK for this summer) to take care of our kids and help us around the house.
    I feel more comfortable having women taking care of elise and valentin.

    I'm looking for someone who at least understand french otherwise it's too frustrating for our 8 year old.

    I'm looking for someone who absolutly LOVE playing with kids:)

    I do my best to follow the rules of "positive discipline". That is very important for me.

    Elise and valentin like playing together and can also fight hard sometimes!

    Rules of our house :
    - No hiting or fighting, we talk when we don't agree, we respect each other (we are working hard on that one!! :)
    - when we have candies at home, i ask they eat a fruit first before they eat one.
    - when we hurt someone, break something... What can we do to repair/fix it?

    Laurent, and I are separate.
    We still get along very well.
    Laurent lives 20 minutes away, most of time elise and Valentin stay with me from monday to thursday and stay with Laurent from friday to sunday.
    Since we (Laurent and I) are both freelance our schedule change and we do our best to get organised, that means sometimes i will have E and V all week....

    Laurent (46 years old), Claire (47 years old), Elise (11 years old) and Valentin ( 8 years old).
    7 years ago we left for a year for a motorhome trip in Europe. We have traveled mainly to Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Albania.
    We loved meeting other travelers and locals from the different countries.
    That is why today I want to continue the experience by welcoming you to our home.
    we started having workawayers in September 2021.


    Laurent and I both work as freelances so our schedule is changing every week.
    I work between 7 to 10 days per months.

    We homeschool our children.

    You will help me taking care of Elise and Valentin, cook and help us around the house.

    If I have a few days of work then you will be the day alone looking after the kids.
    Your schedule will change every week since my job schedule changes every week.
    On sundays i give the schedule for the week.

    With the children we play a lot, we go out to the park, to the museum, to libraries...

    We enjoy gardening in our little garden.er.

    If you have any questions do not hesitate!

    Laurent (46ans), Claire (47 ans), Elise (11 ans) et Valentin (8 ans).
    Nous sommes rentrés depuis maintenant 7 ans, d'un voyage en camping car d'un an en Europe. Nous avons voyagé en Grèce, Turquie, Bulgarie, Macédoine du Nord et Albanie principalement.
    Nous avons adoré rencontrer d'autres voyageurs et des habitants des différents pays que nous avons traverser.
    C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui je souhaite continuer l’expérience en vous accueillant chez nous.

    Laurent et moi sommes séparés depuis janvier. Nous nous entendons tres bien et restons un couple parentale uni!
    Nous communiquons beaucoup pour faciliter cette transition.
    Pour l'instant E et V sont avec moi du lundi au jeudi et chez Laurent du Vendredi au dimanche.
    Comme nous sommes tous les 2 freelance nos plannings changent toutes les semaines et on adapte la garde des enfants en fonction de nos planning donc parfois je peux avoir les enfants toute la semaine....

    Je travaille entre 7 et 10 jours par mois.

    Les enfants font l'instruction en famille ils sont donc à la maison à temps plein.

    Votre aide sera précieuse pour m'aider à m'occuper d'Elise et Valentin (en particulier les jours ou je travaille), cuisiner de temps en temps et donner un coup de main pour l'entretien de la maison.
    Si jamais j'ai quelques jours de travail alors vous serez la journée seule à vous occuper des enfants
    Votre planning changera chaque semaine pour s'adapter à mes jours de travail. En général je prépare le planning le dimanche pour la semaine.

    Avec les enfants on joue beaucoup, on fait des sorties au parc, au muséum, dans des ludothèques.

    Nous sommes sur le chemin de l'education bienveillante, c'est important pour nous :)
    Nous aimons jardiner dans notre petit jardin.

    Si vous avez des questions n'hésitez pas!
