    Availability for from November 2024. - Note we only host one person at a time,
    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.

    You’d be helping around the house and garden, and with pet & childcare (games, parc/football, homework, spending time together as buddies). In addition to that, I have a lot of items to be listed on Vinted; this would be a daily job of yours.

    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. It’s a 4 bedroom house with garden and pool. You‘d have your modern room with mezzanine area double bed. The room has piano, a sauna, and is adjacent to a modern shower room on the ground floor.
    We have our rooms & bathrooms upstairs.

    Food & drink are of course provided!

    If you are happy to help with some of the following, do get in touch:

    -Listing items on Vinted
    -Taking out rubbish,
    -filling & emptying dishwasher
    hanging up/folding washing,
    -vacuum cleaning & mopping downstairs - pretty much daily
    -Gardening, Kaerchering terrace
    - Child minding incl play (football, basketball and boardgames 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!
