    Description

    Hello,

    I live in the countryside and have two jobs: I'm an IT consultant and an organic farmer.

    I'm going through a divorce and need help with the house and the children. I have two daughters, aged 6 and 12, in shared custody.

    I host WWOOFers for farm work, so I won't need help there. My main need is for help with the house and the girls when I have them—helping with homework, preparing snacks, and cooking and a bit of house cleaning.

    The farm is surrounded by nature and is quite secluded. There are beautiful hiking trails and rivers nearby. It's a place for nature lovers.

    Bonjour,

    Je vis dans la campagne, j'ai deux activités : informaticien et maraîcher.
    Je suis en plein divorce, et j'ai besoin d'aide pour la maison, les enfants. J'ai 2 filles en garde alternée, de 6 et 12 ans.
    J'accueille de wwoofeurs pour le travail à la ferme, je n'aurai pas besoin d'aide à ce niveau. Mon besoin c'est vraiment s'occuper de la maison et des filles quand je les ai, les devoirs par exemple, le goûter, faire à manger et un peu de ménage.
    La ferme est en pleine nature, elle est assez isolée. Il y a de belles randonnées, des rivières. C'est un lieu pour les amoureux de la nature.
