    Description

    Hello,
    My name is Xavier, and I live with my wife, Maïlys, in Saint Martin Bellevue, a small town just 10 minutes from Annecy in Haute Savoie. It’s the beginning of the French Alps. We love sports, nature, hiking, biking, and more.
    I also play guitar.
    We have a small dog, named Zorro, a pomsky (a smaller version of a husky). He’s very sweet but quite active, so he needs a lot of exercise. My wife travels for work regularly, and I need a bit of help with walking the dog and taking care of the house. When my wife is home, she works remotely full-time. I can only work from home one day a week, and when I’m at the office, I’m there for the entire day.
    Outside of that, we can go for walks together, chat, cook, and play music in the evenings and on weekends.
    Main missions would be: petsitting and housekeeping


    Bonjour,
    Je m'appelle Xavier, je vis avec ma femme Maïlys à Saint Martin Bellevue, une petite ville à 10 minutes d'Annecy en Haute Savoie. C'est le début des alpes françaises. Nous aimons le sport, la nature, les randonnées, le vélo, etc...
    Je joue également de la guitare.
    Nous avons un petit chien, il s'appelle Zorro. C'est un pomsky (croisement husky, en plus petit). Il est très gentil mais très actif et a donc besoin de se dépenser beaucoup. Ma femme a régulièrement des déplacements professionnels, et j'ai besoin d'un peu d'aide pour sortir le chien et s'occuper un peu de la maison. Quand ma femme est à la maison elle est en 100% télétravail. Moi je ne peux faire qu'un seul jour de télétravail par semaine, et quand je suis au bureau j'y suis pour la journée. En dehors de ça nous pourrons aller nous promener ensemble , discuter, cuisiner, jouer de la musique en fin de journée et le week-end.
    Missions principales : s'occuper du chien et faire du ménage.

    I would need help with walking the dog during the day and taking care of a few household tasks (like cooking, cleaning—nothing too extensive—and maybe repairing the dog’s toys if you have some sewing skills).

    J'aurais besoin d'aide pour sortir le chien la journée, et s'occuper un peu de la maison (cuisine, ménage, pas grand chose, réparation des jouets du chien si vous savez coudre un peu...).

    J'aime parler les langues étrangères que je connais (anglais, espagnol), mais je n'ai pas beaucoup l'occasion de les pratiquer, à part sur Duolingo :) I enjoy speaking the foreign languages I know (English, Spanish), but I don’t have many opportunities to practice them, except on Duolingo! :)
