  Description

  We have availability in June through to October.
  
  
  Hello, we live in the countryside, less than 1 hour from Paris. We have 3 children, a 2 yr 1/2 old boy called Charlie Ocean and 2 girls aged 11 and 14. Our 2 girls live in the center of Paris during the week and then come to our country house the weekend. The 2 girls are autonomous, fun and sweet.
  We live in a large house in a beautiful part of the Yvelines. Many bedrooms, large spaces, indoor and outdoor, 150 trees, woodlands, no pollution. We have mini goats (Muffin, Plum, Pirate).
  Most young people go to Paris on the weekends, which will probably be a nice routine for any young helpers . We don't really need to enlighten you about the things to do in Paris !!!!!!
  
  We are looking for help in the house, cooking and cleaning as well as gardening and helping out in the domain.
  We accept couples too for a minimum of 2 weeks.
  
  We are at least 2 days a week in Paris, we love travelling.. I love sports, science, swimming, Juliana loves Japan, restaurants, music and discovering new places.
  
  Holly and Summer (my children) love dance, Kpop and swimming. Charlie Ocean loves milk, sleeping and late night parties.
  
  If you are open, take initiatives, conscientious and hard working, you will have the most enjoyable experience joining our family. You will be treated very well and respected as well as an integrated part of our family for the few weeks you would be with us. Help particularly with gardens and trees and handiwork required. We can change our triple cultures of france, Uk and Brazil :-).
