    Description

    Hello! I am a mother with my 9 year old and 2 year old daughters and we live in a big house on a big land in the middle of the French south ouest countryside near a beautiful little village called cordes sur ciel.
    I am a hot air balloon pilot and do commercial flights in the area. I leave my house at 5am and come back around 11am which means that I need someone to sleep at the house and to have breakfast with my daughters until I come back or if it’s a school day to take them to school and play school.

    I would love this place to be self sustainable someday, I have already done a lot to do up the house but there is still a lot to do!
    I have a studio where I would like to offer a room for balloon passengers so maybe help with that would great.

    Your help would be mostly taking the girls to school when I fly, helping me with guest house, helping me with the garden and house organising and cleaning.

    We have chickens and poneys and we are surrounded by nature. we have a little stream around the land that we can swim in if it gets warm and where we could create a liitle hang out beach.
    There is space for you in the house, a bedroom with shared bathroom with my older daughter. It has its own entrance.
    We shop at markets and can cook together sometimes and other times have our own space and rythme.

    there is a big space in the house that can be used for yoga, dance or music.
    we have a piano there.
    There are lots of little medieval villages to visit, countryside to explore, rivers, forest, cliffs, caves etc...

    My work depends on the weather which means that the help I need depends on it too. When I fly I need help with my daughters and with house, when I don’t we can visit the area and wonder around. I love being around people and have travelled a lot.

    Experience with vegetable growing and gardening would be great!
    I love to learn and to exchange cultures and knowledge.
    Don’t hesitate in contacting me, I would be very happy to exchange with you!
    Different lengths of time is possible.
