Description
We are a family of 5 with 3 boys ( 5y.o and 4 y.o twins) plus a cat, 2 dogs, 2 horses ans a turtle! We can use a little bit of help with our day to day organisation with the boys ( driving to school, preparing breakfast etc), animals ( feeding, walking, etc). We now have an ( amazing!) aupair, she will leave to continue her education.
Very active, We enjoy the lake in the summer and skiing in the mountains in the winter! Our door is always open for friends and family. Our household is a a bit like villa kunterbunt! :-)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
At home we speak dutch ( with mom) and German ( with dad). We live in the French speaking part of Switzerland. The children understand à little bit of english.
We live in a beautiful place. If you like horseback riding, our horses would be delighted to show you around!
By car, we have the Jura 25min drive away, with beautiful nature. We can see the lake from our house and it's a 15min drive. The alps are less then an hour away from us. The nearest 'big' city is Lausanne, it's a 20min drive and Morges, a very nice little city next to the lake is 15 min away.
If you like nature and outside activities, our place is what you are looking for!
We have 3 cars, so mostly there would always be one available for you.
