Description
I am a single mum with two boys (almost 9 years and 5years old). Both are going to school. They are not difficult kids I am really proud how their manage our lifestyle and how they are confidents even if I am not with the dad anymore. They are very curious, they like to walk in the forest, travels and play at this moment POKEMON and LEGO. I am working in the tourism (most of time guided tours). So when it comes from February to November I am less available for the kids and also for myself because their dad are looking for them during school vacations. I have been myself an au pair for 2 years in USA and I loved it at the time I did not speak English and today I am really proud of this experience and still have contact with the family.
Otherwise, we leave in tourism area in Dordogne with plenty of prehistoric caves, castles, villages, one the biggest aquarium of Europe and plenty activities. I will love to share this area because it is my passion and I am sure you will like it.

Accommodation
One of my son will borrow you his room, we will share the bathroom and toilets. I am taking care of the meals that you share with the kids and me. And as much as you don't eat all my provisions you can feel free to eat when you hungry. Also, you can share what you like. It is nice if you come with me to the groceries and specially outside market in my area it is where you meet people...
What else ...
As I say the Dordogne area in France is well knows for castles such as Castelnaud, Les Milandes(Josephine Baker's castle), also troglodyte villages, famous prehistoric caves (Lascaux, Rouffignac...) beautiful villages with history, outside markets. We are 2hours from Bordeaux (there is a train station but if you have your driver licences it is better). From bordeaux there is a train to Paris 2hours if you want to visit the capital. I am from the suburban of Paris so I will be helpful what to visit where to sleep my mum and my little sister are still there. And my oldest sister in Bordeaux also. So many to tell feel free to come talk to me !!!
