    Hi everybody!
    We need help most in the house, because we have three kids : one of 11 years old, and twins 3 years old.
    Help with the order and the harmony in the house, sometimes cooking, sometimes cleaning, help the older son with homeworks, help with the logistic (pick up the older son at school for example)...
    Help can be as well in the garden and the olive camp. In February and march, it is time to prune the olive trees!
