    LOOKING for a non-smoker with driving license to help us a few weeks between April end June. Thanks!

    - YOU WILL HELP out with the daily household routines (laundry, cooking, tidy up, grocery shopping), help kids with homework, play games and sports, drive kids to their activities and have fun together.
    - YOU WILL GET help to improve your French (or English), be in a house with a lot of energy and music, get to eat and cook what you like, have some free time while the kids are at school, be a part of our family, live in a beautiful new villa with a pool in the countryside, enjoy the sun and great forest walks or bike rides, have a perfect internet connection...

    We are a French family (also English-speaking) with 2 children (12 year old boy and 10 year old girl) and a small sweet and independent 1-year old dog. We live in the beautiful and charming village of Cotignac in Provence in the South of France. We have a large villa with infinity pool in a very safe area. Our kids go to the local schools and speak French, but also some English.

    We are looking for an efficient dynamic extra pair of hands in our active family life, to take care of our daily tasks for cooking and tidy up and help out the kids where needed.

    We really enjoy meeting different cultures and exchanging with persons having diverse life projects, and appreciate having an extra hand with the day to day logistics and support with kids (playing, cooking, housekeeping). Help will be needed after 4pm and daytime on Wednesdays to check on homework, pick up the younger one at school, drive them to activities, play games or do sport together, prepare dinner and help putting things nicely in order.

    We have travelled extensively before having children and thus like multi-cultural environments and speak several foreign languages.

    --------------

    Nous sommes une famille avec 2 enfants (10 ans et 12 ans) et habitons dans la belle Provence, dans le village de Cotignac. Les enfants vont à l'école locale et nous parlons aussi anglais, italien, espagnol, portugais et danois :-)

    Nous aimons partager le quotidien avec une personne dynamique, qui prend des initiatives et sait nous aider à gérer la logistique des enfants, les repas et le quotidien de la maison. Nous avons besoin d'un coup de main efficace et indépendant pour les enfants, devoirs, jouer et les amener aux activités en voiture.

    La personne idéale comprend soit le français ou anglais, aime les enfants, est autorisée à conduire en Europe, aime cuisiner, et apprécie de garder une maison propre et bien rangée.

    Nous sommes une famille pleine de joie et de bonne humeur, et adorons la diversité, le sport et la musique! :-)
