Description
Hi! We are Marion and Jean , we have 3 daughters Charlie (14) Lou (10) and Romane (8). We are an easy-going and open-minded family, who likes to travel and meet new people.We live in the French Alps outside a town called Bonneville, about 20min drive to Geneva where i work.
We live in a big house with a garden which is perfect for the children to play outside, grow vegetables... I like to live a busy social life and expose my children to outdoor activities, new people and culture.
I lend sometimes a car, driving license is needed.
We have a dog, a cat and four goats.
The main support I need is for gardening and outdoor works.
I also need help with maintaining our house, some household cleaning...
For 2025, we need help with some outdoor work, building a path and stone wall, digging and tending to the garden.
For july and august 2025 the children will not be present at home.
If you are an active person, you like kids and discover new places you are most welcome!

Help
The days and times are flexible to allow everyone to spend a good time of vacation, independent or with family.
Lou (10), Romane (8) and Charlie (14) go to school during the week and also spend time with their respective mum and dad.
We do not have our kids one week out of two. In summer, the children will be not present at home.
I would need help with mainly gardening, house cleaning and general maintenance of the house.
I can plan things when you arrive and are very flexible on most things. I hope everyone can find the right balance, be comfortable with the arrangement and have a good time.
Feel free to send me a message if you are interested in staying with us, I will be happy to get back to you.
