Description
We are a French-Brazilian family.
I am Andreia, Brazilian, graduated in Fashion Design, with over 10 years of experience as a stylist in Brazil. I am currently an aspiring photographer and I also run an online children’s fashion store. At the moment, I am on a professional break, as I’ve just gave birth to a baby girl.
My husband César is French, a violinist musician and director of a training company for artists and entertainment professionals (intermittents du spectacle).
We have a 2-year-old boy, Sky.
Until the month of March, living with us are:
• Gabriel, my Brazilian friend, who works with me
• My mother, who came to visit us and help with the children
We also have two dogs:
🐶 an extremely affectionate dachshund, always looking for a lap
🐕 a shy and scared Golden Retriever–Chow Chow mix, rescued from mistreatment, who usually stays quietly in his corner.
We live in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, right next to a train station (La Varenne - Chennevières - RER), which takes you to Paris in 25 to 50 minutes depending on the time.
The village is quiet and pleasant, perfect for walks by a charming lake. We are just a 3-minute walk from a supermarket, and we have gyms, pharmacy, restaurants — everything within walking distance.
The tasks are domestic and will be 5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
Days off and tasks are planned in advance by me.

• 🍀BENEFIT: Monthly Navigo Pass (all transportation zones in Paris and the surrounding region, worth $90.80). This means you can travel freely around the city and nearby areas, saving on transportation costs and using your own money for other experiences and activities.
We live 3 minutes from the train station (La Varenne - Chennevières - RER) which takes you to the center of Paris in 25 to 50 minutes depending on the time of day where you can easily travel to the tourist attractions of Paris and when possible we would love to accompany you . As a French-Brazilian family we can help you practice both French and Portuguese.
⸻
César is French, speaks French and English. Andreia is Brazilian and speak Portuguese, English and French, and our son Sky is growing up learning all three languages. At home we communicate in a mix of these three languages, so if you would like to practice any of them, we will be happy to do so with you.
César is a violinist and musician, and if you enjoy classical music you will have a lot to talk about with him. If you are interested in fashion and photography, it will also be a pleasure to exchange experiences from my career as a stylist and fashion designer.
Our home is full of life and we often have visitors, which is a great opportunity to practice languages on a daily basis.
