  Description

  **We are currently hosting someone until July.
  
  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 the 3 kids (and newborn baby) and running the household during the week, in exchange for room and board! Our home is near the forest. You can catch a bus or trains 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 Australia, to Ireland and Brazil!
