Description
Come share our life under the sun of Provence!
Hello,
We are Marie, Nicholas and our 3 children: Patrick (12 years old), Baptiste (7 years old) and Justin (2 years old).
I am French and Nicholas French-Irish, so French and English are the two languages spoken at home. We live in a bastide surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, in Saint-Antonin du Var, a small village in the south of France, 40 minutes from Saint-Tropez and the Gorges du Verdon. But if you also like the city, we are 1 hour from Cannes, Nice, Marseille or Aix-en-Provence.
We would be delighted to welcome you to our home to help us with the children, the house and the garden. Patrick and Baptiste go to the village school on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Justin is looked after by Céline (the nanny) 2 or 3 days a week and Nicholas the rest of the time. We would need a hand to help us with the children. I'm a speech therapist and I work every day after dropping the kids off at school.
Nicholas picks them up in the evening and I return around 5:00 p.m. We make them do their homework, accompany them to their sports activities (judo, football, basketball, tennis, padel, cycling) then we prepare the evening (shower, games, dinner).
For meals, you can share them with us, it's as you wish. And if you wish to take part in the elaboration of the meals and make us discover recipes, it is with pleasure! If in addition to loving family life, you enjoy working in the garden and doing some maintenance work, our house is made for you!

Bonjour,
Nous sommes Marie, Nicholas et nos 5 enfants: Patrick (12 ans), Baptiste (7 ans) et Justin (2 ans).
Je suis française et Nicholas franco-irlandais, le français et l'anglais sont donc les deux langues parlées à la maison.
Nous habitons une bastide entourée de vignes et d'oliviers, à Saint-Antonin du var, petit village dans le sud de la France, à 40 min de Saint-Tropez et des gorges du Verdon. Mais si vous aimez aussi la ville, nous sommes à 1 heure de Cannes, Nice, Marseille ou Aix-en-Provence.
Nous serions ravis de vous accueillir chez nous afin de nous aider pour les enfants, la maison et le jardin.
Patrick et Baptiste vont à l'école du village les lundi, mardi, jeudi et vendredi de 8h30 à 16h30. Justin est gardé par Céline (la nounou) 2 ou 3 jours par semaine et Nicholas le reste du temps. Nous aurions besoin d'un coup de main pour nous aider avec les enfants.
Je suis orthophoniste et je travaille tous les jours après avoir déposé les enfants à l'école. Nicholas les récupère le soir et je rentre vers 17H00. Nous leur faisons faire leurs devoirs, les accompagnons à leurs activités sportives (judo, foot, basket, tennis, padel, vélo) puis nous préparons la soirée (douche, jeux, dîner). Pour les repas, vous pouvez les partager avec nous, c’est comme vous le souhaitez. Et si vous désirez prendre part à l’élaboration des repas et nous faire découvrir des recettes, c’est avec plaisir!
Si en plus d'aimer la vie de famille, vous appréciez de travailler dans le jardin et effectuer quelques travaux d'entretien, notre maison est faite pour vous!

One of my main task was to take care of Justin, although I wouldn’t count it as a task. It was a pleasure, sometimes more tough and… read more
