Description
We're a married couple, I'm English and my wife is French. We live in the county and are renovating our futur house and we are looking for a babysitter for our 6 month old baby and help with some house work and cleaning in Marcilly, France . We are 25 minutes away from the Mont Saint Michel and 25min from two very nice beaches. We have available on our land a very cosy caravan. We have a lot of space out side and nice areas to have a camp fire or sunbathe even nude if you want.
We have a cat, 2 chickens and a horse.Types of help and learning opportunities

Help
I need help on one hand assisting me to renovate our small house, some roofing, concrete block laying, plasterboarding, stone work, rendering. I know what I'm doing so it's OK if you haven't got much experience. On the other hand I need help mantaing the grounds, striming, cutting logs, digging, planting trees, repairing the tractor, grass cutting. I'll be doing a lot but I can't do it all at the same time so we would work as a team.

What else ...
During your time off you can visite the Mont Saint Michel or enjoy one of the many beaches that are 25 min away by car. There is nearby an old train track that has been converted into a great foot path called '' la voie vert'' that goes all the way to the Mont Saint Michel, and also makes it easy to cycle to Ducey where there is a supermarket, bakeries and restaurants. Avranches is a 10min drive away and has all the shops you might need and train station. If it's sunny you can sunbathe, site by our stream, etc.
