Description
Hello, We are a famille of four (plus a cat and 4 chicken), living in a small village near the beach and the forest of the south west of France. My husband is German, I am French; we and our two daughters love nature and peace... We have a nice house with a big garden in the center of the village.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We are a bilingual family and my husband talks 5 languages so we are really open to others nationality and like to exchange. We are raising our kids trying our best to do positive parenting, being careful about the toys they are using, playing outside as much as possible. We are also careful of reducing our waste, being as ecological as possible, eating healthy, and making a vegetable garden. We love to surf ,practice yoga, make art.

Help
Because my husband is working hard in the summer, and I am a graphic designer, freelance, so I never know how much work I'll have in advance. We are looking for some help with the kids during their holidays. Our daughters are 6 and 10 years old. So they still need someone to look after them while I'm working (even if I can do it from our home). The interesting time period is in between June until September. We need someone who really enjoys to be with kids and has a good sense of responsibilities.

Accommodation
You would have your own room with your own bathroom (it is the biggest of the house). It is usually the room of one of our daughter but we would organize it for you. This room has also a direct access outside.
Usually we are having breakfast around 7.30, lunch at 12h, a snack at 16h, and diner at 19h.
What else ...
We are living in a beautiful area with pine forest at our door. We have a big lake in the village and wild beaches are 10 min away, and in less than 1 hours drive we can be in Bordeaux, the Pyrénées mountains or Spain. Our village has everything we need, a market every day, a library, a cinema, a supermarket and different shops.

She was very dedicated to her job, and very gut organised. The kids loved her, she always proposed nice activities for them; I could count on her and she helped me a lot with housework. I really appreciated her calm and discretion.
