and no men over 30y old.
- - - -
Come and join my 11y old son Phil, our cute Prague Ratter puppy Cooper, his pinscher girlfriend Litchi, and our two Ragdoll cats, and me (Marion, late 40s) in our home in the South of France.
Once a month we have two cute French bulldogs staying with us for a week who need 2 walks a day.
You’d be helping around the house and garden, walk the dogs daily and spend time with Phil (games, parc/football, homework).
We speak German, English & French - however at home it's typically English.
We live in Biot, close to Antibes, ie between Nice and Cannes, and a train ride from Monaco. You can also visit Italy in an hour.
It’s a 4 bedroom house with garden and pool. You‘d have your modern room with mezzanine area double bed, tv and reversible aircon. The room has piano, a sauna, and is adjacent to a modern shower room on the ground floor.
Phil and I have our rooms & bathrooms upstairs.
Food & drink are of course provided!
We can cater for vegetarians, not vegans.
If you are happy to help with some of the following, do get in touch:
-Taking out rubbish,
-filling & emptying dishwasher
hanging up/folding washing,
-vacuum cleaning & mopping downstairs
-Gardening, Kaerchering terrace
- Child minding incl play (football, basketball and boardgames incl Poker are current favourites) & homework, evening 'babysitting', movie night
- Organising (cupboards, clothing,…)
- Dog walking x 2/day
…
We’d expect an average of 4-5/hours on 5 days a week/ times are flexible so you have time for your activities.
Get in touch to see if we match,
… et peut-être on se voit bientôt sur la Cote d’Azur!
