  Description

  Hello 🌿
  My name is Andréanne, I'm 38 years old, and I'm a single mom. I'm looking for a trustworthy person to join me in Quebec City during July and August to help with my little boy, Léopold,
  
  The idea is simple: to create a little daily routine for two, where we support each other, take turns, and care for the baby in a gentle, calm, and nurturing environment. I'll need help with feedings, routines, a little cooking and light housework, but above all, a reassuring and caring presence at home so we can enjoy life, laugh, and have fun!
  
  I also own a flower shop. I work there regularly, which is why I need help looking after Léopold. However, if you're interested, you can discover this world for fun: flowers, plants, crafting… a vibrant and inspiring little world.
  
  Important: This isn't a shop job, just an opportunity to discover and "play with flowers" if that's what you're looking for 🌸
  
  ✨ I offer:
  • Accommodation
  • Meals
  • A rich and welcoming experience
  
  I'm looking for someone reliable, gentle, respectful, comfortable with babies, and eager to wholeheartedly participate in a precious moment of early life.
  
  If you feel this could be a wonderful adventure for you, write to me.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  This stay is first and foremost a human and cultural experience. You'll discover life in Quebec City through the daily life of a young mother, in a simple, warm, and authentic environment. You'll have the opportunity to: • Immerse yourself in Quebec culture and practice French daily • Discover the local pace of life, the neighborhoods, the markets, and the simple pleasures of this place • Share genuine moments around meals, conversations, and everyday life with leo • Understand the reality of being a single mother and the beginning of a child's life. I'm also a florist, so if that interests you, you can discover the world of flowers and plants, try your hand at floral design in a fun way, and immerse yourself in this creative world (with no work obligation). It's an exchange based on sharing, kindness, and simplicity, where everyone learns from each other while having a unique experience.
  
  Ce séjour est avant tout une expérience humaine et culturelle. Tu pourras découvrir la vie à Québec à travers le quotidien d’une jeune maman, dans un environnement simple, chaleureux et authentique.
  
  Tu auras l’occasion de :
  
  • T’immerger dans la culture québécoise et pratiquer le français au quotidien
  • Découvrir le rythme de vie local, les quartiers, les marchés et les petits plaisirs d’ici
  • Partager des moments vrais autour des repas, des discussions et du quotidien avec leo
  • Comprendre la réalité d’une maman solo et le début de vie d’un enfant
  
  Je suis aussi fleuriste, donc si ça t’intéresse, tu pourras découvrir le monde des fleurs et des plantes, toucher à la création florale de façon ludique et t’imprégner de cet univers créatif (sans aucune obligation de travail).
  
  C’est un échange basé sur le partage, la bienveillance et la simplicité, où chacun apprend de l’autre tout en vivant une expérience unique.

  Help

  I'm looking for support with my dog, Léopold.
  I'll be working a few days a week, so I'll need a trustworthy person to be with him during those times. The rest of the time, we'll share daily life in a spirit of mutual support, gentleness, and respect.
  
  The help requested includes:
  • Looking after Léopold during my work hours
  • Feeding and soothing Léopold
  • Participating in the daily routine (diapers, naps, walks, baths)
  • Helping with preparing purees and introducing solid foods
  • Light housework and maintaining order at home
  • Preparing simple meals occasionally
  • Providing a calm, gentle, and reassuring presence
  
  Beyond the tasks, I'm primarily looking for human connection: someone kind, emotionally stable, and with whom daily life will be pleasant and smooth. Communication, respect, and gentleness are essential to me.
  
  Je suis à la recherche d’un soutien auprès de mon Léopold
  Je travaillerai quelques jours par semaine, donc j’aurai besoin d’une personne de confiance pour être présente avec lui pendant ces moments. Le reste du temps, nous partagerons le quotidien dans un esprit d’entraide, de douceur et de respect.
  
  L’aide demandée inclut :
  • S’occuper de leo pendant mes heures de travail
  • Donner les boires et apaiser leo
  • Participer à la routine quotidienne (couches, siestes, promenades, bain)
  • Aider à la préparation de purées et à l’introduction des aliments
  • Ménage léger et maintien de l’ordre à la maison
  • Préparer des repas simples à l’occasion
  • Offrir une présence calme, douce et rassurante
  
  Au-delà des tâches, je cherche surtout une présence humaine : quelqu’un de bienveillant, stable émotionnellement et avec qui le quotidien sera agréable et fluide. La communication, le respect et la douceur sont essentiels pour moi.

  Accommodation

  You'll have your own private room in an apartment in Quebec City, in a quiet and pleasant environment. Meals are included, and I'm happy to accommodate your dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.). We'll often share meals together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. I've hosted over twenty people through Workaway so far, and I love this experience. For me, the important thing is to maintain a good balance between helping each other, free time, exploration, and discovery.
  
  Tu auras ta chambre privée dans un appartement à Québec, dans un environnement calme et agréable.
  
  Les repas sont inclus, et je m’adapte avec plaisir à ton régime alimentaire (végétarien, sans gluten, etc.). Nous partagerons souvent les repas ensemble, dans un esprit simple et convivial.
  
  J’ai accueilli plus d’une vingtaine de personnes via Workaway jusqu’à maintenant, et j’adore cette expérience humaine. Pour moi, l’important est de maintenir un bel équilibre entre entraide, temps libre, exploration et découverte.

  What else ...

  I'm a sociable yet somewhat introverted person, calm and respectful. If you're independent, curious, and value your personal space, we should get along very well. I deeply respect the need for rest, free time, and moments for oneself. I'm also very flexible. If you'd like to explore more of Quebec or take a few days off, we can definitely find a way to make it happen, because your trip and experience are what matter most! (A valid driver's license would be an asset.)
  
  
  Je suis une personne à la fois sociale et un peu introvertie, calme et respectueuse. Si tu es autonome, curieuse et que tu apprécies aussi ton espace personnel, nous devrions très bien nous entendre. Je respecte profondément le besoin de repos, de temps libre et de moments pour soi.
  
  Je suis aussi très flexible. Si tu as envie de découvrir davantage le Québec ou de partir explorer quelques jours, on pourra certainement trouver une façon de rendre ça possible car l'important c'est ton voyage et ton expérience avant tout! (un permis de conduire valide serait un atout).
