    Bonjour/Hello!!

    We are an active American/French family of 6, living in a house just outside of Paris. We live far from our extended families and would love some extra help with 4 kids and running the household during the week, in exchange for room and board!

    We are only looking for guests that are willing to stay longer-term in the country. We can help with the visa (au-pair or working holiday), if you qualify.

    If your skill set includes gardening, building, renovating, organizing, photography or video editing, or even digital marketing, you'll be a good fit for us! With 4 kids, there's never a dull moment, or a lack of things to do!

    Our home is near the forest. You can catch a bus or train to Paris just outside our door. We are looking for someone to be part of our family during their stay, and share their unique culture and food. We love cooking and are happy to share our recipes with you. We are new to workaway, but we've hosted guests from all over the world, from China to Australia, Ireland, and Brazil.
