HELP NEEDED 23 MARCH 2023
Hello. We are a family quite as atypical as nice. We are Aurélie (52)and Yann (51) and our daughters are 13 and 6 years old. We both adopted them. Our grand has a significant motor disability, but she is the embodied joy of life and loves to play board games, sing and cook. She does theater, sing and dance. She would love to learn to play music. The girl is very dynamic! But she is funny, full of life too and needs to be constantly stimulated. our kids are homeschoolers. Our family also has a dog (small) and a cat.
Yann works on trams and Aurélie is an educator, working with children with disabilities.
We also have an association which also focuses on actions related to disability and telethon.
We have a car and can therefore walk with when Yann is there, because Aurélie does not drive.
Finally, our house is located 10 minutes walk from all amenities (cinema, small shopping, post office, pharmacy, train station, hairdresser etc ....)
For the balance of our little one and an effective help for us, we need people who can stay AT LEAST 1 MONTH.

NOUS AURIONS BESOIN D'AIDE DES LE 23 MARS 2023
Bonjour. Nous sommes une famille aussi atypique que sympa. Nous sommes Aurélie (52) et Yann (51 ans) et nos filles ont 13 et 6 ans. Nous les avons toutes les deux adoptées. Notre grande a un handicap moteur important, mais elle est la joie de vivre incarnée et adore jouer aux jeux de société, chanter et faire la cuisine. Elle fait du théâtre, du chant et de la danse. Elle adorerait apprendre à jouer de la musique. La petite, elle, est du genre très dynamique !!!! Mais elle est drôle, pleine de vie elle aussi et a grand besoin d'être stimulée en permanence. Nos filles ne vont pas à l'école, nous faisons l'instruction en famille. Notre famille compte aussi un chien (de petite taille) et un chat.
Yann travaille sur les tramways et Aurélie est éducatrice, et travaille auprès d'enfants handicapés.
Nous avons aussi une association, axée elle aussi sur des actions liées au handicap et au Téléthon.
Nous avons une voiture et pouvons donc nous balader avec quand Yann est là, car Aurélie ne conduit pas.
Pour finir, notre maison est située à 10 minutes à pieds de toutes commodités (cinéma, petites courses, poste, pharmacie, gare, coiffeur etc ....)
Pour l'équilibre de notre petite et une aide efficace pour nous, nous avons besoin de personnes pouvant rester AU MINIMUM 1 MOIS.Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our city, Cergy, located in the 95 in the northwest suburbs of Paris is full of cultural resources. There are many events related to music, dance, the show in general. We also have a leisure center offering lots of different sports just minutes from our home.
Cergy is located 45 minutes from Paris by the RER (suburban train) and we are also close to the countryside of Vexin and Impressionist painters region (possible buses).
In addition, Aurélie working in the field of disability can also share her experience on this point.
Yann, meanwhile, is passionate about history and has a great general culture that loves to share. He is also passionate about ice hockey.
Notre ville, Cergy, située dans le 95 en banlieue nord ouest de Paris est pleine de ressources culturelles. Il y a de nombreux évènements liés à la musique, à la danse, au spectacle en général. Nous avons aussi une base de loisirs offrant plein de sports différents à quelques minutes de chez nous.
Cergy est située à 45 minutes de Paris par le RER (train de banlieue) et nous sommes aussi proches de la campagne du Vexin et de la région des peintres impressionnistes (bus possibles).
Par ailleurs, Aurélie travaillant dans le champ du handicap peut aussi partager son expérience sur ce point.
Yann, quant à lui, est un passionné d'histoire et a une grande culture générale qui aime à partager. Il est également passionné de hockey sur glace.Projects involving children

Help
We would like to find the rare pearl that could help us: someone who could play a little with the girl while we work great. Someone who could get the dog out in some of our marathon days !!!! Someone who loves to cook and could share this passion with our great. Someone who could also accompany Aurélie during walks with the girls to help him physically (our great being in a wheelchair outside, it's not always easy, especially that Aurélie also has a disability ). Someone who could also help us in the house (especially DIY level - various repairs to be done - and routine maintenance of the house, house tasks, as well as help us to restore the garden and make a mini vegetable garden in height for our girls ( considering the handicap of the legs of our great), someone who could go with Aurélie on her job (install and uninstall the room for kids activities) to help with the youngest kid in there.
Nous aimerions trouver la perle rare qui pourrait nous aider: quelqu'un qui pourrait jouer un peu avec la petite pendant qu'on fait travailler la grande. Quelqu'un qui pourrait sortir le chien dans certaines de nos journées marathon !!!! Quelqu'un qui aime cuisiner et pourrait partager cette passion avec notre grande. Quelqu'un qui pourrait aussi accompagner Aurélie lors de sorties à pieds avec les filles pour l'aider physiquement (notre grande étant en fauteuil roulant à l'extérieur, ça n'est pas toujours simple, surtout qu'Aurélie a elle aussi un handicap). Quelqu'un qui pourrait aussi nous aider dans la maison (surtout niveau bricolage -diverses réparations à faire - et entretien courant de la maison, tâches ménagères, ainsi que nous aider à remettre le jardin en état et y fabriquer un mini potager en hauteur pour nos filles (compte-tenu du handicap des jambes de notre grande), quelqu'un qui pourrait aider Aurélie pour son travail (installation et rangement de la salle pour des ateliers enfants) et pour gérer la petite sur place si besoin.Languages

We live in a detached house with a garden, 2 bathrooms, and 2 toilets (important detail when there are many !!!!). Depending on the season, we can offer a comfortable 2-seater sofa bed on the 2nd floor of our house (the person is so quiet in his room). We can also put a folding single bed more.
We do not live in a luxury hotel and we are not professionals ... we just want our house to be more and more pleasant and welcoming, but believe me, human warmth is very present here. ..
We had a lot of workawayers since june 2019 until february 2020 (just before the lockdown ....) and it was very great. We do it again since november 2021.
Nous habitons une maison individuelle avec un jardin, 2 salles de bain, et 2 WC (détail important quand on est nombreux !!!!). Selon la saison, nous pouvons proposer 1 canapé convertible confortable de 2 places au 2ème étage de notre maison (la personne est donc tranquille dans sa chambre). On peut aussi y ajouter 1 lit pliant 1 personne.
Nous n'habitons pas un palace et ne sommes pas des pros du ménage .... nous avons justement envie que notre maison soit de plus en plus agréable et accueillante, mais croyez-moi, la chaleur humaine est bien présente chez nous ....
Nous avons eu de nombreux volontaires Workaway à la maison depuis juin 2019 jusqu'à février 2020 (juste avant le confinement ....) et c'était super. Nous avons repris depuis novembre 2021.What else ...
Not having the possibility of daily support with our respective families, we try the workaway experience to find a balance between our personal, associative and professional lives. We love the contact with each other, sharing, and need to feel present for our girls.
So if you are ready to help us, we would be very grateful!
N'ayant pas la possibilité d'un soutien quotidien avec nos familles respectives, nous tentons l'expérience du workaway pour arriver à trouver un équilibre entre nos vies personnelles, associatives et professionnelles. Nous aimons le contact avec l'autre, le partage, et avons besoin de nous sentir présents pour nos filles.
Alors si vous êtes prêts à nous y aider, nous vous en serions infiniment reconnaissants !!!!A little more information
