    Hello, Ia orana,
    I'm a mixed-race woman from Polynesia. My teenager and I have a house to renovate with a guest room near the city of Papeete, more precisely in Pirae.
    It's too big for us, so we're happy to share it and get some help.
    My son is quite introverted, funny, intellectual... I don't know; it's always difficult to describe yourself.
    In the interest of environmental responsibility, I'm open to advice and ideas for our cozy home.
    I'm macrobiotic (little meat); my son is quite a carnivore, so we welcome everyone.
    I have eco-friendly ideas without going to extremes.
    We don't have a swimming pool, but we do have a jacuzzi (also in need of renovation) and lots of board games.

    Bonjour, Ia orana,
    Je suis une métisse de Polynésie. Avec mon ado on a une maison à rénover avec une chambre d'amis proche de la ville de Papeete, plus exactement à Pirae.
    Trop grande pour nous c'est donc avec plaisir que nous souhaitons la partager et avoir de l'aide.
    Mon fils est assez introverti, drôle, intello... Moi je ne sais pas, c'est toujours délicat de se décrire.
    Dans un souci de responsabilité écologique je suis preneuse de conseil et d'idées pour notre cocon.
    Je suis macrobiotique ( peu de viande) mon fils lui assez carnivore donc on accueille tout le monde.
    J'ai des idées éco-responsables sans tomber dans l'extrême.
    Nous n'avons pas de piscine à disposition mais un jacuzzi (à rénover aussi) et beaucoup de jeux de société.

  • Help

    Help

    Regarding the house, there are simple DIY projects like painting and routine maintenance, as well as a small garden to beautify.
    If you have specific skills, there are more specific projects (electrical, carpentry, etc.), that would be a plus.
    There's also cleaning and organizing this large house.

    I would also really appreciate some help with the more eco-friendly garden and advice on building a passive house.

    Concernant la maison il y a des travaux de bricolage simple comme de la peinture et entretien courant ainsi qu'un petit jardin à embellir.
    Si vous avez des compétences particulières il y a des travaux plus spécifiques ( électricité, menuiserie etc...) ce serait un plus.
    Il y a aussi du ménage et l'organisation de cette grande maison.

    J'apprécierais aussi beaucoup une entre aide du jardin plus éco et conseils pour faire une maison passive.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I'm offering a room with a private bathroom (even if you have personal belongings) in a large house with several terraces.
    We live mid-level with a view of the sea (Pointe Venus and Moorea) in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood near Papeete, the capital of Tahiti (allow a 20-minute walk uphill). You'll be able to get around independently, upon arrival, departure, and mid-stay.

    Je vous propose une chambre avec une salle de bain privée (même s'il y a des effets personnels) dans une grande maison avec plusieurs terrasses.
    Nous habitons à mi hauteur avec vue sur la Mer ( pointe Vénus et Moorea) dans un beau quartier calme proche de Papeete la capitale de Tahiti (comptez 20mn à pied en monter). Soyez autonome dans vos déplacements, à l'arrivée, au départ comme en milieu de séjour.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    It is preferable that you have your own means of transportation.

    Here are some rules to follow:
    We do not sleep in common areas.
    Your belongings stay in your rooms.
    Everyone must have time to themselves, at least two afternoons and two evenings a week, away from home, as indicated in your message.
    I like quiet, so we favor independent and calm couples. Friday drinks are appreciated, but don't expect a lively atmosphere during the week; the evenings should be calm and allow us to rest or work.

    Each day, you can provide 3 hours of service in exchange for the night's stay if you cover the cost of shared meals (or 6 hours otherwise).
    Overtime is not cumulative (do not work 8 hours for two nights).

    Some tasks will be required (cleaning, gardening, and/or other work depending on your skills, helping with transportation for my son), and the rest of the tasks are your choice. I submit suggestions, and your ideas are welcome, based on your tastes and the equipment available.
    Workawayers are responsible for their own laundry, cleaning their own room and bathroom, which they will leave clean upon departure.

    I prefer couples or women, and people with a driver's license.
    We communicate any problems kindly.

    I receive about 6 requests per week, so please feel free to clearly indicate what specific assistance you can provide (note that my son is an "atypical" teenager 😁 ).

    If you've read this far in your message: "Okay, then it's dream."
    This will save me from repeating information, and you'll get a response other than "Please reread my profile in full."
    Thank you for your understanding.

    Il est préférable que vous ayez un moyen de transport.

    Voici quelques règles à respecter :
    On ne dort pas dans les parties communes.
    Vos affaires restent dans vos chambres;
    Chacun doit avoir un moment à soi deux après midi et deux soirées par semaine hors de la maison minimum que vous m'indiquerez dans votre message.
    J'aime le calme donc on privilégie les couples autonomes et calme. L'apéro du vendredi est apprécié mais ne vous attendez pas à une ambiance endiablée en semaine, les soirées devront être calme et nous permettre de nous reposer ou travailler.

    Chaque jour vous pouvez rendre 3h de service contre la nuitée si vous prenez en charge les repas communs et ses frais (ou de 6h sinon)
    Le temps supplémentaire n'est pas " cumulable" ( ne travaillez pas 8h pour deux nuitées).

    Des tâches seront imposés ( ménage, jardinage et/ou travaux selon vos compétences, aide aux transports pour mon fils) , le reste des tâches sont aux choix. Je vous soumets des propositions et vos idées sont les bienvenues selon vos goûts et selon le matériel à disposition.
    Les workaway sont responsables de leur lessive, du ménage de leur chambre et de leur salle de bain qu'ils rendront propre en partant.

    Je privilégie les couples ou les femmes, les personnes avec permis de conduire.
    On communique les problèmes avec bienveillance.

    J'ai environ 6 demandes par semaine alors n'hésitez pas à m'indiquer clairement ce que vous pouvez m'apporter de spécifique (à noter que mon fils est un adolescent "atypique" 😁 ).

    Si vous avez lu jusqu'ici indiqué dans votre message : "ok alors c'est réva".
    Cela m'évitera de répéter les informations et vous aurez une réponse autre que "Merci de relire mon profil en entier".
    Merci de votre compréhension.
