Description
Hello,
We are a French family with 2 kids and a cat and we speak French at home. We have a medium skill in English and beginning in Spanish.

We live in a big house with garden in a town named Vernouillet (78540). We are near from a train station (15 min by walk) and the train reach Paris in 30 min (direct Paris St Lazare). Near from the house, there is a quick access to the nature.

There is a nice garden and enough place for everybody in the house, with internet access. You will have your large private space at the last floor, but we host only one person.

In the past, Workaway was a way to find some help to manage the kids, but now we would like to find some people with skills to help us with the garden and the house. We have some renovation plans et some help will be welcome. We don't ask things that we would not be able to do with more time ...

Let us know if you are interested ...

Greetings.

J'ai passé quelques semaines avec Alexis, Marion et ses enfants. En fait, j'ai bien apprécié mon séjour avec eux. Paris n'est pas loin et la région a de nombreuses activités à faire. Les pourparlers avec Alexis ont devenu agréables et on a rempli nos accords en douceur.
Merci beaucoup pour la confiance!
