    Hello,
    I am looking for a cultural exchange and light domestic help 4 days a week, for a maximum of 5 hours per day. In exchange, I offer spacious accommodation with a garden, and occasional help with running errands. Terms to be discussed.
    We are a family of three: a heterosexual couple with a 9-month-old child. Mum has a disability, so she needs occasional daily support with her role as a mum.
    The mother is a trained social worker; the father is a postman.
    We live in a rural setting within the city. We are based in Ottignies, not far from LLN, 15 minutes from Brussels. There is the possibility of French lessons or other subjects...
