Details

Description
We are a family with 2 kids (a 7 years old boy and a 3 years old girl)
We live in a house with a little garden (200 m2).
We are a French-Hungarian family (my husband is French and I am Hungarian), the family language is French but I use my mother tongue and English as well with my kids... English is mainly to play and have fun!
Type of help
Babysitting / child care
Cooking / shopping
Help in the house
Language practice
Teaching
Help
We are looking for a workawayer who had real experiences with kids and who is able to prepare craft activities and other "educational" staffs for them. As our kids start to speak a little bit of English I need someone who can provide more language explosure for them and bring them to a higher level of English.

I am looking for a "chatty" person who loves talking, telling stories, reading stories and having fun with kids (art and craft activities, cooking & baking, board games, inside and outdoors activities) :).

The volunteer can participate in some easy houshold works (eg: load and unload the dish washer, wash up some dishes, set the table, hang out the launderies etc... ).
If you are quite creative you can even turn out some "help" as a language practice for them. I need just some help to run everyday life with kids...

We live in a charmant little village in Drôme (at a bottom of a mountain Vercors).

So if you are interested please do not hesitate to ask any questions...
I look forward to hearing from you!
Languages spoken
French, English, Hungarian, a little spanish
Accommodation
I can offer an individual room upstairs (we have 3 rooms)

Katherine stayed 3 weeks at our house and she helped a lot in cleaning our pentry and living room.
She was quite nice with the kids, but I think she prefers definitely a job where she can present her talent in organizing and cleaning. She is a very nice chatty person and it is easy to get along with her!

I really enjoyed staying with this beautiful family!
I learnt a lot more than I thought I would of!

They were very easy to get along with and were very laid back but had a strong idea in mind as to what they wanted to achieve for the month I was there, which made things very clear and helped a lot.

Thank you so much for hosting me and I… read more

Genevieve stayed 1 month with us.

She has a reserved and discreet parsonality but she was glad to hold any kind of discussion.

She was happy to help in anything that I asked even if she needed further explications.

Thanks to her interest in bilingualism/multilinguisme and in teaching, she did a great job and really improved my kids… read more

They were very kind and welcoming, and always made sure I had everything I needed.

Melinda was a perfect host - I couldn't have asked for anything more. She made me feel so welcome in their family home and constantly made sure that I was okay and that I had everything I needed.

Her children, Samuel and Lorna, also made the visit very enjoyable. Each day we would do a fun activity to help develop their language, i.e. crafts,… read more

Staying with this family was really a pleasure! They are open, easy going, and fun to be around. I immediately felt at ease and welcomed into their home. Helping around the house and with the children was enjoyable, we made cookies together, went on long walks to the park, and read a lot of stories! The village where they live is also charming,… read more
