    Description

    I'm a 50 years old flight attendant living in Lille, the very north of France.
    The city is really nice and dynamic.
    I live alone with my 6 years old girl called Anaïs.
    My mum lives the flat in front of mine and my boyfriend in the neighbourhood.
    I have to travel for my job some time few days in a row, then I get help from my family and babysitter.
    An additionnal help would be welcome during the stay at home.
    As Anaîs starts really good with english and italian, the idea is to help her to develop her language skills.
    In exchange, she'll be glad to teach french.
    The idea is to spend some good time according to my unusual schedule.
    There is no routine at home.
    My place is not that big but it's well located in a quiet quarter in the middle of a green parc.
    There are 3 rooms, then everyone has his own privacy. An open kitchen, a garage for bikes, WIFI....
    Citybuses and metro station are nearby.
    Then it means it's easy to get to the historical center in 10 mn or wherever in France or abroad as the coachstation and railway station are at 10 mn.

    Language practice
    Babysitting and creative play
  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In my place, the rule is to be open to different culture, learn and share new experiences.
    The purpuse is then to share language skills at all means.
    And the chief word is trust and reliance.
    At Lille there a lot to know about the french culture.
    I visit often exhibitions, museums and more with daughter. I have an great interest for latin dances.
    International people to get in touch with, share discoveries, sports and so many other activities.
    Someone who feel bored at lille must be boring itself LOL.
    Lille is a starting point to visit Belgium, Paris, England and more.

    Help

    The help requested would be:
    - sometimes with my 6 years old daughter to take her to the nearby school or pick her up.
    - sometimes to take Anaîs to some of her activities out of school
    - sometimesto stay home if I come back after 8 on the evening to practice sport or go out.
    Shedule is never similar and requires to be flexible and autonomous.
    My aim is to share as much time as I can with my daughter, that's why I mention "sometimes" at all items.

    Accommodation

    At home there are 3 "normal size" rooms (for French standart), one four each of us.
    The room has a desk, a bed and waredrobe.
    Toilet, bathroom, kitchen and main room is to be shared.
    About food, I can't cook so much because of my job, but I can make time to teach or share few french recipes on my time off.
    When we can share meals the 3 of us or only with Anaîs, I will provide and share food (if it is at the taste of my guest)
    I will let my guest buy is own food to eat wherever and whatever out of our shared meals (that we can planned in advance). It means that the guest should have a budget for that.
    The fridge is small but can have room for one more person. also I can leave a cupboard free to store some personalsupplies
