  Description

  (The next available slot will be from the 31st of august to the 19th of October).
  
  Hello, I am Isabelle mum of Tiel, nice little boy of 10 years old. We live in Paris southern suburbs called Verrières le Buisson, in a house, in a quiet street, just next to a forest (where it is possible to walk or to cycle), and next to a Steiner School (you might be aware of this pedagogy), where my little boy is going. The forest is a nice place, when you want to jog, or to cycle, or just to breath nature, for a break.
  
  We are a very small family of 2, but we love to meet new people, and we have a very nice relationship with our neighbors, and other parents of the school, whom we Know for several years. We often have friends for dinner, or tea time.
  
  There is an big indoor hall for climbing called Arkose, in a neighbor city called Massy. And also 2 swimming pools (reachable by bike or car).
  
  Paris and all its museums and its events is reachable by bus and train in 25 minutes (I can lend a bike to reach easily the train station - or your can take a bus to Antony and then the famous RERB). And Versailles is also reachable by train, same travel time. It is also possible to reach Paris by bike (14 km) on a green road only for bikes.
  
  What you have to know :
  - I will be working during the day (from home and also away in companies for the day), so during the week I am rather not available, as I need to concentrate on my work, so I am looking for workawayers who are autonom. So that is nice also if you have to work on your own projets, or want to study (because you will have time during the day)
  - We will have some regular moments of sharing, and I will do my best to help you feel home, debriefing and adjusting regularly so that all our little village does feel good.
  - It could be great if you have a drivers license for manual cars (my car is not automatic)
  - I am willing to cook more and more vegetables, (we eat meet only from time to time) I will need some help for cooking in the evening, as I am lacking some inspiration.
  - No mobile phone or screen in the common rooms like the kitchen or living room.
  - Tiel is playing the Flute, so sharing live musician playing together is highly appreciated
  - It is a great experience for us to meet new workawayers.
  
  
  Please feel free to ask some further questions.

  Help

  I need help to bring my little boy to school in the morning, wake him up and prepare breakfast. I need help to take him back from school in the afternoon ,take care of him or bring him to some activities like ping pong, circus. I would love you to cook from time to time (3 times a week or more if you wish) for the family in the evening nice and fresh vegetables. You would have some free time during the day (from 9 to 15h30 most of the time and on Thursday from 9 to the evening), to visit Paris, or Versailles (reachable by train as well), or study.
  I might need also some DIY from time to time, and help for the laundry, and nicely tidying and cleaning the kitchen every day and specially in the evening so that we start the day after with fresh ideas (for the rest of the house we have a cleaning lady ;-)
