  Description

  Hi!
  We are a French family, living in Ericeira, 40min away from Lisbon. Ericeira is a surfers' and fishermen village, with a lovely seaside, beaches and a cute town. If you enjoy surfing, that's the place!
  
  Who we are:
  
  Our mothertongue is French, but everybody speaks English fluently, as well as Portuguese. Some of us understand Spanish and German too, some are learning Japanese and Korean.
  Our boys are 8 and 5, they get along very well. On a daily basis, we do schoolwork in the morning and use our afternoons for leisure, crafts, play or sports. The boys practice jiu-jitsu and really enjoy it.
  Dad works from home, and I'm in charge of the well being of the family!
  We travel often, long stay abroad but also short stays to explore the beautiful Portugal.
  
  Who you are:
  
  What is important to us is that you're willing to become like a member of the family. If we all get along well, you can stay with us for a few weeks and be part of our daily life and adventures.
  You're speaking English or Portuguese, best as mothertongue or excellent command.
  You enjoying cooking nutritious and healthy food (if possible low carb) as we do grow our food, prepare our own water kefir, kombucha and sourdough bread.
  
  Your mission, if you'll accept it, is to prepare meals in advance for our busy days and watch the children. We'll expect you to be available about 4 hours per day. Of course, you'll be able to do whatever you want of the rest of your time and weekends.
  Naturally, you can join us on our weekend activities!
  Of course, you will have your own bedroom and bathroom, and can improve your French with us or learn Portuguese, or take some time to visit other parts of the country.
  If you like gardening, you'll enjoy helping us to grow our food!
  
  Please contact us if you're interested!
