  Description

  We are currently updating our profile...
  
  Hello,
  We are a family with 1 children : a 9 years old (and lovely) boy... .
  We will be very pleased to welcome you and love the idea that our children are living alongside young people from other cultures and countries. We live in Brittany, in Saint-Brieuc which is a city in the north of the region at the edge of the sea. We live in a house with garden, in a district close to the city center. It is easy to walk, bike (bike loan possible) or bus. Saint-Brieuc is a medium-sized town with a library, cinemas, auditoriums / concerts, swimming pool (actually still closed), park and stadium athletics. With us, you will have a bedroom with sink. Apart from one week each school holiday where we take the opportunity to escape and travel, we are present the rest of the time. We work in the cultural sector, and have very regular daytime work schedules.
  Lunch-time and diner-time are important moments for us and this is a daily "time to share". We cook fresh vegetables and organic food (and sometimes we are very proud to eat home-made vegetables :D ).
  
  If you want to stay with us a little while and in fact learn french, please try to write your messages in french asking us to answer in english if needed/prefered.
  
  Bonjour,
  Nous sommes une famille avec un petit garçon de 9 ans. Nous aurons grand plaisir à vous accueillir et aimons l'idée que notre fils côtoie des jeunes gens d'autres cultures et pays. Nous habitons en Bretagne, à Saint-Brieuc qui est une ville au nord de la région au bord de la mer. Nous vivons dans une maison avec jardin, dans un quartier proche du centre ville. Il est facile d'y aller à pied, à vélo (prêt de vélo possible) ou en bus. Saint-Brieuc est une vile moyenne disposant d'une bibliothèque, de cinémas, salles de spectacle/concerts, piscine, parc et stadium d'athlétisme... Chez nous, vous disposerez d'une chambre avec lavabo et pourrez avoir accès à une salle de bain partagée. Hormis une semaine à chaque vacance scolaire où nous en profitons pour nous échapper et voyager, nous sommes présents le reste du temps. Nous travaillons dans le milieu culturel, et avons des horaires de travail en journée très réguliers.
  Le temps du repas est très important pour nous et nous apprécierons de le partager au quotidien. Nous cuisinons simplement et bio.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  BD, Livres, films, musique : vous trouverez chez nous de quoi vous nourrir de culture...
  
  Comics, books, movies, music : you will find here something to feed you with culture ... and local tips off course.
  As we work in culture and heritage, we can give a lot of tips to discover our city and nearby.
  We are waiting for 3 lovely hens, a little vegetable garden and principes of permaculture inspire us.
  Depending the weather, you can discover nautical activities ;) we also know where you can hike, ride, run...
  To conclude, we think that the every-days things are the best way to share culture. And we probably don't have time to talk during hours every evenings (we need *help* and not someone to change the world ;) ), but we are most of the time available to share some advices or to give some tips.

  Help

  We need someone to keep our child when we work (between 3 and 4 days per weeks and depending his activities).
  Week-end, wednesday are free but we like sharing activities when we plan something.
  We are looking for a real ADULT, independent, responsible and capable of initiatives.
  If you speak at least some French it will be better since the children don't speak fluently any other language.
  
  Nous avons besoin de quelqu'un pour la garde des enfants au mois de juillet .
  Les temps de garde sont clairement définis au départ.
  Les week-end et mercredis sont libres, mais si nous programmons quelque chose, nous avons plaisir à le partager.
  Une expérience professionnelle en lien avec les enfants serait un réel plus.
  Nous cherchons une personne adulte, autonome, responsable et sachant prendre des inititiatives notamment en ce qui concerne la vie collective.
