  Description

  We are a Swiss family living in the old town of Basel, close to the German and French border. Thierry grew up in the French part of Switzerland and I, Alexandra grew up in Emmental, which is near Bern, we both finished our studies in 2022 and are now working full-time. The birth of our daughter Gabrielle, in May 2023, changed our lives, in a wonderful way. We enjoy to spending time with her and to exploring Switzerland and the world together as a family. We are a very sporty and adventurous kind of folk. Being host is something we really enjoy and we love to warmly welcome guests at our place. We cannot stand still on weekends, we love to hike ski or visit different museums. We are practicing christian values and integrate them in our daily life.
  
  Your benefits at ours would be that you can babysit a cute little girl in the mornings and enjoy meals with us and can also spend some free time with us if you wish. We would partially come up for transport if you wish and intend to stay longer.
  
  Since we both lived trough various experiences abroad, and really liked it, having a Workawayer can bring further cultures and life experiences into our home and life. We really would like to get to know you better and explore your talents. Our target is that you can feel at home and to improve your talents.
