    Description

    Hi! We are a family of 4, Romain, Elisa, our three year old son Sohan and our cat Yoda. We live in a small village in the French alps, in between Geneva and Chamonix, surrounded by nature, forest, animals and flowers. Our house is surrounded by a big garden, with a vegetable garden, lots of flowers, apple and cherry trees! In our free time we love hiking, climbing, yoga, dancing and singing. We would love to exchange some moments with you while gardening together or absolving simple tasks in and outdoors.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Shared meals, gardening together or doing hikes or playdates with our son, we love having people over and are always happy to get to know, exchange and laugh! We love Yoga, playing guitar and singing and love to share those moments with others. With Romains work we deepen our knowledge on sustainability and ecological awareness on a daily basis. Knowing that our son gets to know different cultures, languages and lifestyles warms our hearts.

  • Help

    Help

    We are balancing life with a three year old, without having any proximate grandparents, our work life (Romain works in an NGO WWF mostly from home, and Elisa is a Massage therapist) and our house, and garden. We would love to have some help with outdoor tasks like gardening, cooking, household and playtime with Sohan our son. Romain mostly works from home and I work two to three days a week and our son spends two days a week in childcare - we spend a lot of time at home doing house or gardening tasks or doing outdoor adventures.
