    Description

    Hi, Im Alena, Im Czech and have been living abroad for nearly 25 years. I have a 10yr old son and from March/April Im looking for someone who can help me looking after him, play with him and drive him to or from school when my work prohibits me from doing it and help around the house and garden a bit too. We have a nice house near Cannes in southern France, close to the beach and mountains. Falco's father is Australian and Falco's first language and our household language is English, we speak and understand French, and Im trying to teach my son Czech.

    Help

    At the moment we need help in the outside - tidy up the shed, weed the garden,some odd jobs around the house...

    In the spring/summer we mainly need help for school runs (so drivers licence and comfortable driving is a must) and some play time. Our boy enjoys electronics, ball games, cycling etc. Help with some light household tasks and gardening.

    We had au-pairs and workawayers previously and it was a great experience.
